I enjoy boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, football and running. Sports are a part of who I am. My family’s business is a boxing, kickboxing and MMA facility so growing up inside of a gym felt natural. I have participated in a variety of athletics since I was 3 years old. I started out in Tae Kwon Do, earning my black belt at 9 years old. I persevered and completed my black belt despite a recently healed from a broken arm, training for 8 weeks with only 1 arm.
Going into middle school, I started wrestling. I participated in wrestling in 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade and 9th grade. Wrestling has taught me so many lessons not only in sports but in life. In 9th grade, I earned the Arizona State Freshman Wrestling Championship in my weight class. Continuing to develop in wrestling is important to me. I love the intense physical, and mental competitiveness in wrestling.
I played football for the first time my freshman year of high school. Joining the football team taught me about dedication. I biked to early practices every day on my own. I played defensive line, offensive line and special teams for the freshman squad. I received the most improved player award. I enjoyed learning a new sport and being part of a team.
Track is another competitive sport that I enjoy. I have participated in track and field for 3 years. I am competitive in the 400, 800 1600 and 3200. This year I ran both on the Jv and varsity teams for track. I also bike to all my early, late and weekend track practices on my own. I enjoy the individual and team aspect of track meets. I would be a great candidate for a track team because I am always striving to do better no matter what the clock says. My goal is to break school and state records in high school.
Academics have always been important to me. I am an honors student in school. I am two years ahead in math and I am in all honors classes. I also plan to take summer courses so I can earn my credits faster.
