Personal Statement

Growing up in sports, I’ve learned that time, hard work, and consistency are the only ways to get results. In sixth grade, I fell in love with running and have since dedicated hundreds of hours to improving myself and my times. I want to take the next step and find a college that fits me not just athletically, but academically. I’m looking to major in engineering and am ready for the exciting process that is recruiting.
