• H. P. Baldwin High School

• Grade: 12 / GPA: 3.8 ENG 100

• Sports: Basketball, Track & Field, Cross Country

• Future Plans: I plan to pursue nursing at UHMC.

• Sports Lessons: What I enjoy the most about being an athlete is being surrounded by great people. I enjoy creating bonds with team- mates to get a sense of camaraderie to make our team stronger. Without communication and teamwork as an athlete, bonds will not form, which would inevitably cause an imbalance throughout a team.

Communication and relationships are key, and I also learned time management. I have improved on being introverted (due to the isolation of Covid). Being an athlete revolves around cohesiveness and teamwork, even in cross country. Being a student athlete forces you to make decisions on the go and sacrifice some of your free time. With a busy schedule, I realized that I needed to start using my time wisely by doing work in school or limiting my phone usage to get work done. Being disciplined has helped me become more responsible and will be beneficial to my life after high school.
