I have played sports all my life to this point. Sports provide an important balance in my life to academics, work, projects, and friends . It forces me to be efficient with my time and has been an integral part of who I am in high school and who I desire to be in college. As a student athlete, I appreciate the day to day hard work and intensity that has to be balanced to be successful in and out of the class. Personally, I enjoy structure and I am more apt to listen than to talk.
