Personal Statement
The most influential time in my athletic career occurred my freshman year in high school while I was on the track team. It was regionals and one of our star runners for our relay team was out, so it was up to me to run for the chance to go to state. That day, I realized how successful I could be in athletics and I was motivated to improve. Since then, I've put my heart into everything I attempted, but my real passion is for the competition, the thrill of the game. Thus, I strive to be the best that I can be. I know I still have a large amount to improve on, but as many people have said, it is not about the destination, but how you get there.
