Rowing has been such a big part of my life being one of the main motivations that continue to push me to achieve greatness. As a scholar athlete I make sure to put my best effort in whether it is on the water or in the classroom. Rowing is more than just a sport to me at this point in my life, it has become a way for me to grow as a individual by making me a leader when amongst my team and an earnest pupil when under the wing of my teachers/coaches. There is no such thing as too much work as I know the end goal in mind will all be worth it. The race doesn't end for me until I've filled my lust to take my rowing and education as far as I possibly can. If I was given the opportunity to row at a collegiate level I would bring a new diverse face and background to the rowing community. In my own community rowing has given me a way to give back through community service and giving the youth a chance to learn the beauty of rowing.
