2023 Highlights Personal Statement
I have a two part goal: one is to excel academically in the field of law and politics, a field in which I hope to take a justice system that my family has been building and expand it into helping the socially disadvantaged level the playing field of life; and my second goal -- which often feels most important in the moment -- is to excel in athletics, primarily as a thrower with the track and field team and also in weightlifting, a long term activity of mine in which I have enjoyed a lot of success and some enjoyable travel. In most every sport I have played in since I was tiny, coaches handing out awards at the end of the season have usually thanked me most for leading my teammates, inspiring my teammates and bringing a joy and levity that apparently makes their lives both more enjoyable and easier. I love the hammer throw, weight throw and discus most and I feel like I will build a community around me with my track and field teammates that will enrich my collegiate experience and hopefully make the experience of those around me a more fulfilling experience as well.
