Donald Richardson '18 Recruiting Profile

I want to be successful in my future.  In the process, I understand that I have to get a good education to achieve my goals.  My education is my primary way of having a spectacular life.  I'm very good at sports, but I know that's a one in a million chance.  An education is one of the best ways that I can reach sucess for my future.  When acheived,  I can say when I get older, "I've made it."

In my family, a college degree is standard.  My parents are both educated, as well as my sister and brother.  I understand that my undergraduate degree is the first step to help me reach my goals.  I would like to major in environmental science.

Hard work in the form of making myself better with training is fun for me.  This fact along with my positive attitude makes me a great teammate.  Understanding and accepting responsibility are qualities that separate me from my counterparts.  I am willing to take on challenges that some may see as impossible.  My parents have instilled in me the view that I should put the word “opportunity” in place of the word “problem” when facing challenging task. This point of view has served me well.
