Personal Statement
Hi, I am Zack Mazurek. I love to run and I love to compete. Other runners have trainers and coaches who have helped them along the way. I don't. None of the coaches at my school know enough about distance running to coach it properly. I am self motivated; I make my own workouts and all I do is try to get better every day. I race against the clock, and I enjoy pushing myself to the limit. I know I have much more potential in me if I am trained properly. I want to run cross country and/or track and become even faster. I am a very hard worker and I perform my best in every thing I do. I work hard in school and have achieved a 4.0 in High School, as well as, a 30 on the ACT. I look at tests as if they are challenges. They are a way to compete against others academically and test my knowledge.
I have competed in Band competitions, Science Olympiad, Quiz Bowl, BioAthalon and Math competition. I am an active member of my youth group and volunteer in a wide variety of community activities. I have competed in several different sports, including soccer, football, basketball, track and cross country. I understand that being a good team-mate is critical to team success even if that means that individually, I may not get the spotlight or recognition.
