Being a young female athlete, who is the only female in my track team who does shot put, It has made me realize that there aren't that many female shot-putters out there, in general. I want to add to the few numbers of females who do it. Training solo didn't only teach me independence and how to self-motivate, it also taught me to motivate my teammates in different events. Because of this, I've grown into a leadership position for my teammates, inside and out of practice. Over the course of high school, I've improved tremendously with my grades and time management, and I can boldly say thanks to attending a boarding school. I aspire to become a great field athlete by being hardworking and dedicated and with the support of my teammates as well.
