My collegiate goals include becoming the ideal student athlete. A scholar is too soft and an athlete in itself is too crude and I feel a sense of fullness as a student athlete and would do everything in my power to excel in both categories. I have a 3.8 GPA and have qualified for cities various times as well as sustained the top 3 in my borough since freshmen year and qualified for states for xc(5k)and indoor track(1600m). I am the only one in my family who is attempting to pursue track and field beyond high school and one of the only Indian Americans who participated in this sport in my athletic league. I will not let the difficulty of a workout or a race affect me or change my path, but instead preservere to a common goal of self and total achievement.
