Why Penn?Penn students consistently define excellence in everything they pursue, and I value the chance to chase my own achievements in such a storied environment with such high standards.”
 
Why rowing?You don't row because every stroke is joy and satisfaction; in fact, many strokes are agony and frustration. You row to prove to yourself that your limits are just a little more elastic than you thought they were.”
