Kashka Blair '18 Recruiting Profile

I am a very strong, unique and understanding individual. I considered myself strong because I was once an epileptic which was a challenge/obstacle for me throughout my life, but overall it helped me to find my strengths and also give me the idea that if I could have overcome that situation, that any other challenge can be dealt with. I believe that I am unique because I am someone who loves to explore and learn new things, meet new people, tell people my story, my background. My uniqueness also shows in a sense that I love trying to make people happy in whatever way I can. I consider myself understanding because of what I have been through in the past with my illness, often times people would just want to judge me without knowing my story, therefore, I understand that everyone is different and you don't necessarily know what someone is going through. I think I'm different from other athletes mostly because of what I have been through and where I am now because a few years ago I would have never thought that I would have made it this far with track and field but ever since I have started it always motivated me to do more and my main goal on the track was to always try to achieve a personaI record(PR), I am also very persistent in track and field,  I'm sure I have a 95+ attendance, I always get the workout done and I love and enjoy the sport. Academically I believe I can do more than I am doing right now, I am very strong math student and science student and would consider myself an average student with English and History.
