Your strengths
Strengths include leadership abilities, friendly, can work well with others, able to follow directions and carry out tasks given to me, mentally/physically/spiritually strong, determined, goal-oriented, willing to help others, creative, dependable, reliable, work hard at everything and I don't give up.
Your goals
My goal is to become an independent, strong individual which will allow me to continue to work hard in whatever the future holds for me. With the current state we are in, there are many obstacles and challenges we are facing but this is only going to make me more determined to fulfill my goals. I very much would like to continue my education and cross country competitions at the collegiate level. Some day I would like to compete in larger cross country races, even the Olympics.
Anything you've overcome to get to this point in your athletic career?
Prior to my Senior year, I worked one-on-one with a personal trainer to help with my running form. I was able to work with and meet new people and train with different teammates. I also incorporated other training methods such as swimming, body workouts, stretching, and meditation.
What sort of school are you looking to become a part of?
I am looking to become a part of a junior college. I would like to attend a school that offers not only a wide range of sports activities but also other extracurricular activities where I can stay physically fit but also to meet new people.
Why do you enjoy track and field/cross country? Why do you wish to compete in college?
I enjoy cross country because it is a big part of my Native American culture. Running also calms me and brings peace to me. Running, whether doing it for enjoyment, relaxation, or competitively, allows me to keep in shape.
Anything else relevant?
