My goal was to play sports in college, and I had made that happen at MVCC by playing basketball and track and field. Now when finishing my second year here, I have a bigger goal to pursue track and field at a higher level. Every day I come to practice to not only make myself but my teammates around me better. I am a strong advocate for being a leader to others, going the extra mile to put in more work, and getting 1% better every day. This goal is something I am going to constantly fight for, and I will do the things nobody likes to do to get better as an athlete. And I have always been a believer in taking the academic side very seriously because you cannot do one without the other, therefore meaning in order for me to participate in athletics, I need a good academic standing behind me to back it up. These attributes are what make me different from other athletes.
