Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
I have had many successes and failures throughout my athletic career. However, my first competition as an inexperienced athlete I attended the national championship representing my high school. I had no training but just the will to prove myself. My determination got me the bronze medal. This moment brought me a lot of confidence and that’s when I decided track and field was for me. I always look back to this moment whenever I face failures in my life and get motivated back on track.
Goals:
I want to dominate the college sports circuit in the United States for my short-term goal. My long term goals are to represent my country in major championships such as the Olympics or World Championships and inspire many others to take up the sport which has taught me many life values.
Anything else we should know?
I am very keen on performing well in both my athletics and my academics.
