Assignment 22- Matthew Street

For me the college search has already begun and i am very deep in the process, having already narrowed down my top 5 schools and i know im going to one of them and im being pressurized to make a commitment in early school year this year maybe even late summer. I am being pushed by the recruiting process of swimming in college and the ordeals that come with it. At the Division 1 level of swimming, its not a joke, most of the people who are contacting me and talking with me mean business and on my first call with a D1 coach a while back i got a reality check. Yeah i realize college needs to be centered around my academics, but swimming takes up so much of my life and i realize it is way more intriguing to me than any school subject. Ill just put my college list right here : Cincinatti, Auburn, Penn State, Pitt, LSU. AS of right now it'll be one of those schools where i can swim and obtain a great education but a lot comes down to the border schools and my dilemma whether to include them or not.
