What are your strengths?
I am a hard worker and a dedicated athlete.

Your goals?
My goals are to attend a four-year university and get my bachelor's degree and possibly go to graduate school. A long term goal of mine has been to be able to compete in college and I hope I have worked hard enough to make that happen even with my season being cut short.

What sort of school are you looking to become a part of?

I am looking to be a part of a four-year university. I am looking for a bigger school. 

Why do you enjoy track and field/cross country? Why do you wish to compete in college?
This would have been my 7th year doing track and field. I started in middle school and have continued ever since. I have worked so hard and enjoyed every second of it. I love this sport because while it's a team sport you compete individually and I am able to push my self to be the best I can be. I never really knew whether I wanted to compete in college or not and to be honest I never knew if I was good enough, but with my season being cut short it ended too quickly and I felt I have so much more to give but I now don't have that opportunity. So competing in college would give me the opportunity to continue this amazing sport and I would be able to see how far I can make it.
