Personal Statement
Becoming a collegiate athlete and competing at the collegiate level has always been one of my greatest dreams since I was 5 years old. In addition, I've always dreamed of being successful both in life and at school. I've worked on helping to make this a reality through both my work ethic and mental toughness to keep pushing through thick and thin. My principles of perseverance, integrity, servitude, and effort in all that I do whether on academics or XC and Track is what separates me from other athletes out there. I work great as a group member on the team because I demonstrate qualities of leadership through the way I talk to teammates and the level of commitment to the Track and XC teams at my high school. I've maintained a very high level of academic performance and as a result, I was inducted into the National Honor Society and even received the Presidential Education
