     As a high school athlete, now heading for college, I was, and will be, held to a higher standard than other students.  Going into Lebanon Valley College,  coaches and teaching staff expect cooperation, leadership, dedication , and mostly respect for myself and others.  I uphold these qualities everyday with my actions.  Holding doors open, speaking politely, listening to other points of view, and demonstrating to others how to be the person I want to be are just a few examples.  I am a cancer survivor.  I spent my toddler years on chemotherapy and as I grew up, I never thought I would be playing college lacrosse due to the lasting side effects.  I have managed to overcome both academic and athletic challenges and I am relentless.  I will never give up on my dreams!
