William Gilkey '20 Recruiting Profile

The reason that I love track is not just because of the attention and glory, it's also due to the joy that running my race brings to other people before, during, and after the race.  My start is good and constantly getting better alongside my running form and times which will never cease to get better until I reach my limits.

I was raised in a family were education is nothing to be ashamed of; education in my family is top priority which, I am currently in 48th place out of the 433 students in my class.  Alongside being in the top 50 of my class I am in the National Honor Society and attended a summit for math and science hearing many Nobel Prize winners relay successful information and how to further my academic career. 

The reason that I want to pursue a career in psychology is to help all of the mentally troubled people in the world. I've read that my generation is among one of the most generations in decades, and I want to fix that.

    I enjoy reading and learning new things in my free time, as well as taking martial arts classed which teach life lessons and self defense classes.
