Catherine Palm '23 Recruiting Profile

        I aspire to become a doctor and in the long run (no pun intended), change the world by helping others. The person who inspires me to do so is Paul Farmer, a medical doctor, anthropologist, and activist who truly believes (and shows that is is possible) that one man can change the world for the better. I just want to become the best person I can be and do my best in everything that I apply myself too, whether it be athletically, academically, or in the community. I know that running competitively in college will definitely be difficult, but I think that is the reason I can be good at it: I am not afraid to work hard or struggle for something, which is also why I hope I would be a good candidate for your team. Also, I apply myself academically; working hard and trying my best applies to everything I do! I do not want to compete for the glory of winning, although that is great too; the reason I want to compete is so I can push myself and try my hardest, and it gives me fulfillment to see the results of my hard work. Also, I just really love running and competing (I train and compete in table tennis too!!) with other people, and I can't imagine college without a team that is there to support, be supported by, and have fun with me.
