Personal Statement

Hello,

     Thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement.  I have a 3 things that keep me grounded; family, community, and work ethic.  My family is the most important.  My parents help guide me in my decisions, my two brothers and I are always pushing each other to be better.  I believe to be a good citizen you need to give back to your community.  It doesn't have to be a grand gesture but the willingness to support others in the community goes a long way to making it a better place to live.  Finally, work ethic, regardless of your abilities if you work hard and do the right things I truly believe good things will happen.  I have faced many obstacles in my athletic journey, but have continued to lean on my family, keep true to my roots, and worked through injury and disappointment.  I will always chase my dreams, because they will not chase me back.
