My desire to not waste the opportunities presented motivates me to be more and accomplish more in both my academic and athletic pursuits. My goals in Track is to be able to complete a race, regardless of finish placement, with a big smile on my face, knowing that I gave it all I had and had the opportunity to compete against the best. However, what truly makes me stand out from others and makes me unique is that I am the spark that drives people to improve themselves. I am very outgoing and create friendships easily, but when competing, even at practice, I always give it my all. I convince those who are to run with or against me to put in that same effort. I am going to be better, if not the best, regardless of who I am with, so the question is, will you let me be the spark that'll make your team a mighty blaze?
"The spread of civilization may be likened to a fire; first, a feeble spark, next a flickering flame, then a mighty blaze, ever increasing in speed and power."
-Nikola Tesla
