Water polo
Water polo has shown me what dedication looks like. Improvement comes from practice, hard work, and trusting my teammates, especially when a game gets difficult.

Three interests.
One story.
I’m Dylan. Water polo, guitar, and fishing have all taught me that progress takes dedication, practice, and the willingness to keep trying. Each one challenges me in a different way and continues to shape who I am.

01 / MEET DYLAN
A little about me.
Water polo, guitar, and fishing may seem very different, but they are connected by the same lesson: meaningful progress rarely happens on the first try.
Water polo has taught me to work hard, practice consistently, and trust my teammates. Guitar pushes me outside my comfort zone and gives me the chance to be part of something larger than myself. Fishing draws me to the adventure of not knowing what the day will bring. All three require patience, dedication, and the willingness to learn from mistakes. I hope this site gives you a better sense of who I am beyond my application.

02 / MY INTERESTS
Three sides of who I am.
Guitar & music
Playing guitar pushes me outside my comfort zone. Performing takes practice and courage, and it gives me the chance to contribute to something larger than myself.
Fishing
Fishing is full of adventure and uncertainty. It takes preparation, patience, and the willingness to keep trying when the day does not go as planned.
03 / WHAT I’VE LEARNED
Different challenges. Shared lessons.
Each interest has taught me to practice with purpose, take thoughtful risks, and keep growing. Those are lessons I will carry with me into college.
Keep working at it
Water polo has taught me that progress is earned through consistent practice. It takes effort to build skills, support my teammates, and keep going when the result does not come easily.
Step outside my comfort zone
Learning and performing music asks me to take a risk. Guitar has helped me become more confident, express myself, and understand how my part can contribute to something larger than myself.
Embrace the unknown
Every fishing trip is different, and there are no guaranteed results. I enjoy the adventure, the problem-solving, and the challenge of trying again when something does not work.
