I am a determined and committed team player who is willing to step up, no matter how difficult the challenge. In fact I love a challenge and it is very important to me to have opportunities to push myself to even greater heights. While I strive to set personal goals for myself, I also act in the best interests of my team. One of my greatest attributes as a person and a runner, is my quest for knowledge. After I finish a race, whether I place or not, I will always review my performance and consider what I could have done differently. However, I not only seek ways to improve my growth but also the growth in others. During my high school years that thirst for knowledge has transformed into the desire to share what I have learned with others. That is why I would like to pursue Kinesiology or Exercise Science in college. Through my various experiences on the track, my family has instilled in me the importance of never giving up, no matter the odds, remaining positive, and humble. It is these attributes and my self-determination that drive me to be the best student athlete possible. I will not disappoint.
