Who do you admire most other than one of your parents and why?:

I admire Jesus the most because He is kind to me even when I was not kind to Him. He is compassionate and caring. He showed mercy though I did not deserve it. He forgave me when I could not forgive myself. He showed me and the world, unconditional love. Jesus lived the life I could not live and died the death that I deserved. I admire Him for laying His life down for me so I can have life in Him.

If you could meet any person in the world, dead or alive, who would that be and why?:

I would like to meet/see the face of my Savior. One second with Christ is worth more than anything this world can offer because His presence is an honor and is freely offered to those who earnestly pursue Him.

Why is being a student-athlete an important part of your education?:

Being a student-athlete is an important part of my education because it teaches me critical things I will need in life. For example, discipline. Without discipline in sports or in school, you will not get anywhere. Being in sports helps to take care of your body and develop a strong mindset that will push you forward educationally. Only those who work hard will reap their good work.

What else should we know about you?:

You should know that track and field is not an end-all-be-all for me. I am happy to say that it is not my top priority because that place belongs to Jesus.
