Personal Statement
I am a 5'1" cross country runner from Jessup, Pennsylvania. I have been running cross country for five years, as well as participating in track and field. As a freshman, I made the varsity all star team. That same year, my team won the district 2 title and I qualified for states as an individual runner. Previously, I was a level 9 competitive gymnast when I stepped down because I realized I had a passion for running. I have a 4.0 GPA and I am enrolled in honors and AP classes, as well as dual enrollment. I have also been part of the gifted program since 3rd grade.
I am looking for a school with a good balance between academics and athletics so that I can succeed in both. I would like to pursue my degree at a university with an outstanding academic reputation in the field of nutrition and medicine.
