After completing my high school career at Boca Raton Community High School in Boca Raton, I plan on attending college and pursuing a Business degree. I would also like to compete in Track & Field Events while attending a university on the East Coast.
Recently, I was named MVP of the Swim Team and progressed to compete in the Regional Event at NOVA. I also was awarded the MVP for my Track Team. I placed 8th in the FHSAA State Finals for the 800 Meter Run with a 2:00 at UNF in Jacksonville. Also, I placed seventh in the 300 Meter Hurdles for Palm Beach County Finals. I have had the opportunity to compete in Boston All-States for both Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Our relay team in Boston that trained at the Reggie Lewis Center was featured in the Boston Globe All-Scholastic Rewards my Freshman Year. Our 4 X 400 Relay Team also competed in the National New-Balance Championships in NYC. I trained at Harvard this summer at a USTF Hurdler Training Camp. Last year I trained at Brown University.
Service to others is also very important to me. I was awarded the 100+ Service Award for Pope John Paul II HS. I just recently have been awarded the rank of Eagle Scout with Troop 323 in Boca Raton, FL. During Merit Badge University, I took classes at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University. I have been awarded the Bishop Award from Bishop Gerald Barbarito. I was awarded the Ad Altare Dei Award from the Archdiocese of Boston. I was pictured receiving the Pope Pius XII Award in our Hometown Weekly paper. The ceremony was held at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, MA. I have completed my Lifeguard/First Aid/AED and CPR training with the American Red Cross and am a certified lifeguard.
I have worked as a Camp Counselor in Training over the summer. For the past three summers I have worked 40 hours a week while still training at 6:00AM for track. During the summer I work at a bicycle shop fixing and repairing bikes. Last year I was able to run the whole shop independently for the entire summer. I have a team attitude and a desire to train hard and win.
