Undergraduate / Track and Field -Short Answer Edit for College Application: Extracurricular Activity [3]
Instructions: Briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities in the space below (150 words or fewer).
Track and Field was the only athletic activity I could participate in due to a hereditary health problem in my knee. I never let my partial disability get in my way of what I wanted to accomplish and quitting was never an option for me even when I got injured and pulled out for a part of the season. Dedication was a very important moral to me. I never missed a practice or a meet unless it was absolutely necessary and I never stopped working on my events, like the eight hundred meter relay.
At first track didn't seem to consist of what I wanted in a sport but I found that it was more. Being apart of a team for the first time was one of the most amazing experiences I had as a freshmen. I love being apart of a team, which actually seemed more like a family.
