Samia Gomez '29 Recruiting Profile

My family has a saying never be afraid to fail as long as you fail forward! Meaning to improve every facet of my life from school, sports, goals, aspirations, I need to be able to take on challenges and expect not to get it right the first time. The goal and expectation, is that when I fail, I evaluate, gather my thought, make a plan and reengage to ensure that I am doing everything in my control to lead to a positive outcome. Now I know there are many things that I cannot control, but as long as I remain confident, seek knowledge, have a inequivalent amount of drive, compassion, commitment and hard working work ethic and a positive attitude, then I know I can be a influence not just for my family and community, but to my peers, my teachers, my coaches and those who I have yet to come in contact with. I respect the drive and heart that athletes have for their passions. But where I feel that I a different from other athletes, I am humble, I know how to engage in a role, contributing team member, lead by example, I want all people to succeed at something, and I care about how my actions affect not only my life, but those around me and my country.
