Personal Statement
I currently compete in discus and shot put, and will be adding hammer and weight this year.
Ever since I was a distance runner in junior high, I have always wanted to compete in college athletics. College consists of next level training, discipline and ethics that I believe I can live up to.
I am a very hard worker; I train year round with only a few breaks here and there. I believe that the three months over which an athletic season occurs is not enough. As far as leadership goes, I consider myself a great leader. I take pride in helping other athletes achieve success. I like to encourage the underclassmen to work with me during the offseason.
Regardless of how much I enjoy extracurricular activities, the classroom always comes first. I have a 4.0 GPA and I work very hard to maintain it.
I would very much like to attend a college that will help me to continue to succeed as an athlete and as a student.
