"The road is a strict disciplinarian," my Great Uncle Norm would say often during our cross country cycling trips. When you cycle a hundred miles a day for a month, you learn a lot about the road... the road of life!
I've used this knowledge in all aspects of my life. Academically, I was elected into the National Honor Society and was one of four chosen to represent my school in a youth leadership program called NEXGEN that encourages kids to be leaders in their community! Athletically, I lead my schools basketball team as its starting point guard and Varsity team captain. I train relentlessly on and off the court with weight lifting and private coaching. Basketball is a huge part of my life and my passion!!
I've learned in life, like in cross country cycling, you have to keep pedaling to reach your destination.
