Passion for Track; Why I run
It all started in my childhood in England, where we would play soccer at recess and I would sprint to get the ball.
My peers appreciated that and frequently complimented me on it, even though I was unable to accept compliments because I grew up in a household where being proud of oneself was frowned upon.I didn't start running until I transferred to Willow Grove and one of my coaches invited me to join the indoor relay team. And though I had no idea what relay was, I enthusiastically agreed. Fortunately, I had strong coaches who taught me everything I wanted to know, as well as strong friends who encouraged each other to do our best. We worked hard and were also able to set a new city-wide elementary school record in 8th grade, with me being the last runner. Unfortunately, due to my father's job, we had to move, but this did not derail my track career in the least.
I transferred to Estevan and spent a lot of time training in sprinting and jumping, setting various records in high school and elementary school track. But life goes on, and so did we; we relocated to Fort McMurray, Alberta, where I plan to join the school track team this year and learn to improve my performance.
What I Plan for the Future
When I grow up, I want to be a surgical first assistant. That necessitates a lot of learning in high school, as well as a lot of health and science lessons.
What makes me different and why I am a good candidate?
I cannot give you a 100 percent correct answer why I am different than the other athletes because I have not met them. All I know is that if a chance to change is presented to me, I still take it. I am committed and will give it my all in any situation. I am easy to talk to and will still use constructive criticism to develop. Academically, I average around an A in all core subjects and the majority of electives.
In terms of character, I was always told in my family to be patient and no matter what you think you are the best at, someone else will surpass you.
