Personal Statement
I have been doing track since my freshman year of high school and I’m going to continue through my junior and senior year. I initially started out as a sprinter as a freshman with no success and my coach changed me to a middle distance/ distance runner in my sophomore year. He convinced me into doing cross country, which had success being in the top half of our sectional standing. For track I had much more success than my freshman year getting all conference honors and advancing to our sectional meet. For me though, school is far more important than sports, because I know if I don’t do well in school, I can’t be in sports, and I don’t want to be a burden to the team.
