WIAA 4A Track & F...Personal Statement
My father has always taught me that athletics can be a gateway to an education and that competition builds both character and humility. Athletics has taught me how to be accountable to myself, to set goals, and that in order to achieve success, I have to push through my fears and weaknesses. My educational goal is to earn a degree in nursing and then to pursue a graduate degree in nursing in order to become a Nurse Anesthetist. I enjoy helping people and feel that nursing will help me to continue to do that. Athletically, my hope is to earn a scholarship that will allow me to pursue my educational goals, as well as continue to compete at a high level for as long as I can.
