Personal Statement
Fortitude. I have a lot of it. I have had to have a lot of it since my freshman year having survived a horrifying experience where my attacker might as well have left me for dead. I have fought back and walked down the hallways of my school each day with my head up despite the whispers. Truthfully, it has been a battle for me to get back in step grade wise, but I am well on my way, and sports have been a saving grace for me. I love to run - always have - and I leave it all behind on the court or on the track. I have a positive and encouraging mindset and I will always work harder, with determination and with eyes on the goal ahead of me. I know I will be a great asset to any team given the opportunity.
I believe in myself and . . . I am a winner -- and thank you for believing in me too!
