Jakayla Lawton '24 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to major in Dentistry and specialize in music. My long-term goals are to Graduate from college and continue on with my journey. My short-term goals are to continue to have honor roll and or distinguished honors every marking period.
My ability to press my way to greatness and not give up is astonishing. I was once injured with a sprained ankle I made sure I took care of myself and healed in two weeks for myself and my team.  I make them better because I show what not giving up when it gets hard looks like. They make me better by showing they care and have teamwork. They're my family. There was a time when I was sick and missed a lot of school I was able to turn my F into an A within 42 hours. I also tutor and help others who are failing because if I deserve a better future so do they.

I aspire to grow as a person mentally, physically, emotionally, etc, especially when it comes to Track and Field. To not only become faster but to have discipline and stay focused on training. My team and I push each other to make each other better.
