Personal Statement

My dream is to run track in college, preferably in Michigan, but I'm open to look at out of state schools.  I'm leaning towards a profession in Engineering or Design, but still undecided at this point. I have been running track since 7th grade, since then I've competed in a variety of events:  400m, 200m, 100m, 800m, 4x400m relay, 4x200m relay, 4x100 relay and 4x800m relay.  My favorite event has always been the 400 meter dash but I love to run them all.  I hope to continue to accomplish much more this indoor and spring season of high school and in my years to come in college track.
