Personal Statement
I started running when I was in middle school. Since then, I have been competing in the 3200m, 1600m, 4x800m, and the 5k. As an athlete and a student, I have great perserverance and dedication to the programs I am involved in. I have currently held a unweighted 4.0 GPA and a varsity spot on my school's cross country and track team since the beginning of freshman year. I have been a student in many honors classes and I am a member of the National Honors Society. By partaking in these programs, I have learned what it means to be a leader and how to motivate myself and others. I am a coachable athlete who is committed and dedicated to the sucess of myself and my teammates. I attend each meet and practice with great enthusiasm and determination.
