My collegiate goals and aspirations are to become a surgeon, specifically an orthopedic surgeon. What makes me a good candidate for the team is my approach to “team work”. Not only do I really care about improving my track personal record (PR); But I also care about helping my fellow team mates to improve and excel in their respective disciplines however I can. By improving my PR I contribute to the overall success of the team—by helping my fellow teams improve we greatly improve the overall success of the team. Some athletes main focus is their athletic future, what makes me different from these athletes is my viewpoint on academics; I believe academics is the “corner stone” to overall success in life! I believe that you cannot achieve your dreams of becoming a good athlete, lawyer, teacher, doctor, etc., etc. without a good education.
