January 2019Personal Statement
I am a hardworking and goal oriented person. I love to set high goals and work diligently each day to achieve them. I would like to continue my athletic career into college because athletics have been part of my daily routine for my entire live. I love the completion that comes with sports and running provides the best platform for this. Although I am somewhat new to the running world I will do anything that it will take to be the best runner I can be, but also for my team.
I will value my academics in the search for the right college for me, as they are important for my future success.
I feel like I stand out from others due to my unconventional thinking but also my determination that I bring into all aspects of my life.
