My participation in sports, has taught me the values of teamwork, self-confidence, and respect. I have been able to build relationships with peers and adults, while managing my time and attentively honing in on my academic/athletic skills such as (preparedness, critical thinking, communication, abilities, strengths, and mastery). Therefore, as I embark on this journey I am preparing myself academically and athletically because it is a process, which I am enthusiastic and dedicated to be successful in.
