2018 Santa Rosa C...Personal Statement
I am an Italian-American military brat. I’ve enjoyed living all over the world my entire life from Hawaii to Naples, Italy in which I did many sports like karate, modern pentathlon, and swimming on the European Forces league. I currently live in Phoenix, Arizona as a senior in High School. When my dad retired, we moved to Pace, Florida and I was in 8th grade. The next year I tried to continue my swimming career as a freshman but soon learned that Cross Country and Track were what I wanted to devote my time to.
I’ve been running since my freshman year of high school and have loved it ever since. When I discovered running I immediately knew that was my gift. Looking at myself now, I can say that running has definitely taught me how to be hard working, patient and have discipline. I knew, that when I won Districts my sophomore year, this would be a sport I’d always love.
My athletic awards: Freshman of the year, XC District Champion 2017, Pensacola News Journal XC Runner of the Year 2017, Pensacola News Journal Athletics Track and Field First Team 2017 and XC First Team 2018.
