Personal Statement
I did not start my high school athletic career running track. I participated in both track and softball during middle school. Since these are both in the same season, I had to make a choice. During my freshman year I chose softball. I made the junior varsity team and was selected team captain. I discovered my favorite part of softball was stealing bases. After finishing the season with the most stolen bases on my team, I realized I should reconsider running track. As a sophomore, I joined the track team and have been fortunate to have many individual and team successes along the way. I am self-motivated, disciplined, and a team player. These qualities have allowed me to be successful on the track and in the classroom. I would like to attend a college where I can excel academically, continue to run track, and be a part of a team.
