Simon Gutierrez '23 Recruiting Profile

 Do you know that feeling of solely focusing on your objective? No eating, no girlfriend dates, no other assignments, it is only you and your objective. Deep inside, I enjoy this feeling and am fortunate to have learned it at my age.

 I have always felt that excitement in becoming a collegiate athlete. Because of my unconditional focus on running in college, I have made sacrifices and regrets which have taught me so much for my adulthood.

 We all say things that shouldn’t be said, or we do not say things that should be said, and there are those who destroy the very principles I live by, such as respect and kindness. I have always been pressured and mistreated at various points in my athletic career, however, this only makes me strive for better. They do not see my challenges nor obstacles, but I will be able to see your athletes’ challenges and will be honored in helping them.

 As I continue in the business world, I have much to learn, however, acquiring my Eagle Scout Award lets me see there is more to achieve, and this award is only the first of many. As a young adult, I have encapsulated many experiences that formed my purpose. This includes my purpose on this world: helping others. With this purpose comes responsibility, stress, and happiness. I experienced those three principles and desire to master them. My passions are to learn, experience, and help. As State Senator or CFO, I want to advocate for a better society because I cannot sit around and wait for someone else to make a policy that will benefit themselves instead of the citizens.

 In college, I will acquire a BA in Finances and pursue my MBA. After college, I will find a comfortable job allowing me to work on my career while my Real Estate occupation keeps me stable. Once working in my profession, I will establish my own businesses, investments, and have a family.
