Since I was in 8th grade Track and Field has been a crucial part of academic life. Since I was on the team I was forced to hold my own and be dedicated enough to compete with seniors at my level, not just track but sports in general have taught me so many valuable lessons, sports genuinely molded me into a new person, before I was committed to anything I was struggling with my grades and was looking for a reason as to why I should put effort into school. I believe my desire to compete at a high level in track and field will be reality in the near future.
Coming from a small-scale rural town I knew from the beginning that I would not be able to compete at a higher level during my time at High School so, I worked my way up the ladder. The work I was putting forth towards track was all for me to take it to a college level. In the past year my jumping length has increased a staggering 4 feet and with this passion of mine I know that I will push that number higher.
