I value that when I set my mind to learning or achieving something, I am able to focus on my desire to see a positive end result and work towards that goal. I don’t like the idea of giving up because I don’t enjoy the feeling of being hopeless or regretful towards my actions. I haven’t been playing lacrosse for very long, nor am I the best player on my team. However, I can confidently say that I always bring great character and attitude to my team. I value always doing my best because I know that I have done all that I can. Seeing my more-experienced teammates play alongside me is so inspiring and every practices I feel compelled to work even harder than the day before to contribute more to my team. I believe that it is my resilience and adaptability through tough trials that enabled me to quickly grow into a strong player in a matter of 3 years. In the future, I can see myself pursuing my other goals in a similar manner, full of determination and grit.
