Courtney Jackson '26 Recruiting Profile

The plan I have for my future is to become an obstetrician. But, I would like to run track in college or do it professionally. I have been dreaming of being an obstetrician ever since I was in 4th grade. It is something that I have been wanting to do for a while. Doing track professionally or doing it in college has been a dream of mine for a few months. I have always been a very athletic kid ever since I was young. I would always run though. I liked running, I thought it was nice and I just loved to push myself, even now. I want to continue my path with track and see where it takes me. I love being able to run because it helps me remember that I could push myself and there could be a good outcome. 

I believe that I am a good candidate for any college. The reason I believe this is because, I know exactly what I want and do not plan on changing my mind. I feel with the right mindset, I could achieve the goals that I have planned for myself. What makes me different from other recruits is that when I fail in something, I don't stop trying to achieve it. When I fall I get up and keep going. When I would not get into first, second or third place, I try not to let it get to my head because I know that I could get into those places with the right mindset and I have been in those places. I also have very good communication skills. I love talking to my team and hearing everyone out because I feel everyone should have a say in everything. I am a very positive, hard working, and flexible person.
