Quitting the sport I loved had made me realize that I need to start setting more goals for myself. Before my injury, my goals were mostly just about gymnastics. Now I have to set different goals in real life, which is for the better since I cannot do gymnastics forever. Before my injury gymnastics was all I thought about and I also did much better in school, but I was also more stressed. Gymnastics has taught me so much, especially patience which is why I did so well in school.…

While in middle school every young girl’s dream was to be on the varsity cheer team. While the last week in September we started trying out. I swear that whole week I felt sick and could not eat anything unless I wanted it to come right back up! After school we went straight to practice until 5:30. The older cheerleaders took this to heart and got so mad at us when we started joking around.…
Outside of my academic activities, I have a strong passion for sports and exercise. As a student-athlete for over 14 years, I have learned the value of hard-work, dedication, and determination. Establishing these invaluable attributes early on made it possible for me to become an NCAA Division III lacrosse athlete. Sports dramatically shaped the person I am today and taught me how to step to work in unison with my teammates to achieve a common goal and simultaneously step up as a leader.…

It’s difficult for me to put a finger on a specific dream of mine because I still don’t know exactly what I want to do. All I know is that I want to be successful. Through the years, I’ve had countless people pour into me because they wanted me to find success in whatever I wanted to as well. One of the most influential communities of which I am a part is a summer family camp called Sandy Cove in Maryland. My family lives in a trailer park over the summer with roughly 25 other families.…
As a student athlete who moved multiple times, I built many relationships with my teachers and coaches. I will always remember the teachers and coaches that had a positive impact on my life, whether it was in second grade or my senior year of high school.

After working for a few years in another field, I decided that it was time to strive for a profession that enthused me.…
Many children have extraordinary dreams that falter during life’s journey, but occasionally a premature childhood dream becomes reality. Since childhood I have constantly set goals for myself that many would classify as unrealistic. These goals have ranged from becoming an Olympic figure skater to becoming a successful pediatrician. Both of these aspirations have pushed me to become a hard working leader that is both unique and determined. At an early age I fell in love with the art of figure skating, but I never imagined it would teach me valuable lessons of determination and hard work.…
At 13 years old I was a mediocre student that was mostly failing all my classes, hanging out with junkies, and destroying my friendship with my parents. These short lived friends of mine would persuade me to ditch classes and extracurricular activities to hang out with them. At first I foolishly believed that ditching my after school program of Hip Hop would be harmless until it became a routine for me to lie to my parents about where I was and who I was with. As a child my relationship with my parents was based on honesty, trust and love. All the childhood memories I shared with my family were all gone and the honesty and trust I once shared with them no longer existed.…
