Personal Statement
When I grow up, I want to pursue a career in the medical field, via sports medicine/physical therapy. While I know that sports isn't what someone thinks about when they consider helping people, I believe it is a great opportunity for me to be a positive role model and use my influence to give back. As a young athlete, I have already had the pleasure of talking with peers and friends and I take pride in the fact that I can be a voice of reason, listening ear, or just motivate them. I believe in working hard in order to accomplish my goals and I know that if I want to be successful, I have to make sacrifices and stay focused on the things that are important.
