I set my goals and standards high so I have to force myself mentally and physically hard to achieve them. My goals are to first get a good education, second is to become a d1 athlete and hopefully eventually go pro. The difference in me between other athletes is I compete against older and more experienced than I am just to soak up all the information. I also compete against myself, if I see somebody running 6 laps then I’ll do ten and so on.
I have always been a smart person in school especially if I put the time and effort into it most of my teachers would vouch I am the most brightest in the class!
