Personal Statement
I hope to perform as well in collegiate athletics as I have in high school athletics. It was always my dream to go the Olympics, but as I grew up, I realized that dream was a bit far-fetched. However, as I continue to improve, I hope that I can achieve some higher level of athletics and perform to my highest potential. What makes me a good candidate for a team is the fact that I'm well-rounded as an athlete. I've been doing the hurdles events the longest and I like them the most, but I have also performed well in the 400m, Long Jump, and High Jump.
What makes me different from other athletes is the fact that if I haven't done it yet, I keep working until I have. I've never been one to give up, no matter what it is I'm doing. I have progressed very well and very consistently in the past three years. I also use this determination in the classroom, as I am number 1 in my class and I continue to take classes that challenge me intellectually. Education has always been important to me, so I take the time necessary to learn the material the best I can. I hope to be able to compete at the university level while also obtaining a quality education.
