I will always be up for a challenge, try my hardest every practice or test,  and I always try to be the best version of myself. As a teammate, I think I have a great personality because I am trying to help and also motivate my teammates in both practice and competitions. Being focused on my own goals makes me a great candidate because I know that I will always try my hardest to achieve my personal goals and I also do everything to help my team as a role.
