Personal Statement
As a scholar athlete, I will be successful in both academics and sport. The same characteristics are key to my success in both: perseverance, commitment, personal courage, endurance.
Understanding that I drive my success has help me focus on the number one factor to achieve it, accountability. I know I must be accountable, accountable to myself, my instructors, my coaches, my team. Being accountable ensure that I ALWAYS strive to be my best.
One moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory.” ― Louis Zamperini..... these words never seems so true to me until this year... during the European championship, I had to work through a severe ankle injury and because of my deep sense of accountability and commitment to myself and my team, I wrestled through my injury. As a result, I ended the championship 2nd Team All European for the 126LB weight class. I love wrestling. I want to be the best wrestler in my weight class for myself and my team. To this end, I will be committed, focused, resilient, dedicated, and accountable.
