In college, I would like to pursue either a degree in international relations, government, or cyber systems and be a part of a ROTC program. Athletically, I would like to run Varsity Cross Country, or play Volleyball, but would also like to try new sports like Rugby or Lacrosse. From a young age, I have hoped to serve in the military, and my goal is to commission as an intelligence officer. My career goals have always motivated me to stay fit, and partake in running, calisthenics, and weight lifting. I have always had a lighthearted, humorous outlook on life and that reflects on the peers I work with. Even when I am feeling crazy out of breath, Cracking jokes to the Junior High boys is one of my favorite practice traditions, because their eye rolls or scoffs are just too good. Seeing younger, more reserved kids come out of their shell and talk to me or ask questions, are some of the most rewarding experiences I have had. I try my best to be open to everyone, and show that I am not perfect. As a leader, being able to show when you make a mistake and laugh it off, has made the people I work alongside, comfortable in asking for help, and motivated to always improve.
I have always been driven to do my absolute best, and even when competing against close friends, I always want to come out on top. Running has challenged me since the day I started jogging with my mom in Second-grade. I had to repeat my consistent mantra of "You feel fine." through cold, muddy, FBI obstacle courses, post Covid lung issues, Half-Marathons, taking on 18 miles with minimal breaks during a relay race on a hot June day , and while I in fact, do not feel fine, I feel amazing when I beat that challenge. This mantra gives me strength to power through my physical pain, and complete one more mile, one more push-up, or one more set. Academically, I take hard math classes that I am told are over my head, because there is something satisfying about struggling for a bit, and then ending the semester with an A. After I graduate, I would love to bring my jokes, motivation, and personal drive to a college team. Most importantly however, the opportunity to continue my running career, would teach me new skills, values, and ideas that I can carry throughout my career and life.
