I became interested in track and field when I was 12 years old. Now as a junior in high school, and a member of the varsity track team for 5 years, track is a huge part of my life. I couldn't imagine continuing my schooling without it. This year my teammates and coaches selected me as team captain. My best event is high jump and my favorite event is long jump. I also participate in 100 high hurdles and the 4 by 100 relay. Being in 4 events really teaches you how to manage your time. I also have to manage my time in school between my normal classes and my cosmetology program. My goal is to graduate with my cosmetology license. In college I would like to explore different career paths in the fields of forensics or nursing. Hopefully, somewhere between track and my future career I can find the school that best fits me.
