February 2017Personal Statement
My personal goals for athletics at the collegiate level would be to make a name of myself. By the time I graduate college, I want people to know who I am as a pole vaulter. Of course, higher bars would also be a big goal of mine! I think I would be a great attribute for a collegiate team because I am very hardworking and would love to put in the work to make not only myself better, but also the team. I would make sure I do my part and get the team points by going out and competing to the best of my ability in my events. I'm a very outgoing person, so I would stand out from others. I will talk to anyone and everyone and definitely bring some light into the tougher days of being a college athlete. Not only do I stand out on the track but also in the classroom, in the community, at home- anywhere! I see myself as a unique person and I would make a great addition to a collegiate track team.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
