I am most proud of how I have not given up or sold myself short. I know that I put my best efforts into the things I have done in high school, and because of that, I’ve been able to learn and grow a lot.

At PR I’ve learned that you get out what you put in–if you work hard, you’ll see the benefits of that. But it is also extremely important to give yourself rest and to maintain balance. I’ve also learned how important it is to invest in the relationships in your life. You can’t live alone, and you shouldn’t live alone. If you want community, you have to help build it yourself and give back to the people around you.

I am looking forward to diving deeper into classes that interest me and that pertain to what I want to do in my future. I’m also looking forward to running in college–for the team atmosphere, traveling, and close community within the team.
