Camp Sankaty Personal Statement
I am Jeffrey Romelus from Brockton, Massachusetts. I have been attending Camp Sankaty for 5 years now. I am a captain in one of the dormitories, meaning I am responsible for teaching the younger campers the ways of camp, keeping the dormitory cleaned, and helping staff members with various jobs. I have won various awards during my tenure here at camp. I won awards for basketball, checkers, and volleyball. This past year I was awarded the Tiger Woods scholarship by the Ouimet Foundation. Also, this year I am one of the editors of the annual camp newspaper. This year I completed my freshman year of college at the University of Massachusetts Boston. I am enrolled as an economics major. I am also planning on declaring a minor, either for accounting or finance. As of now, I have a B average for my classes that are required for my major. Although, I did not have the best grades for my general education classes. I know I need to improve my grades the next year. I believe I need to work harder because the business world is very competitive, and mediocre grades will not get me far.
