Endurance, motivation and dedication were a few words that made up the foundation of my career as a student athlete. These words arose in any and every situation possible. From the classroom to the football field, these three words haunted and shaped me in to the person I am today.

I conquered my biggest challenges in my life, and I am ready for more. I plan on taking the world by storm and this could not have been possible without Kash’s competition. I wanted change, and it happened. This current semester I am a straight “A” student, I lost 24 pounds and i’ve never been happier with my life. This competition has built an impeccable work ethic and taught me patience.The one concept that this competition has instilled in me and I will live by this concept every day is, If you aspire to achieve something, don't sit around, but go out and dominate what ever the goal is, no matter how big or time

It was a great experience for me. Even though I’m only volunteering once a week, due to having two jobs, I still believe I’m making a deference in someone’s life.

My interest in having another education abroad experience developed as a result of my realization of the many ways in which my first study abroad experience has profoundly impacted my life. Last summer I participated in the Interdisciplinary Art & Culture study abroad program to Florence, Italy, and the experience had a profound impact on me academically, professionally, and personally. Upon returning from my study abroad program and resuming my courses at my home institution this fall, I realized that my experiences abroad had prepared me for academic success. For instance, this semester in Renaissance Art History class I noticed that I was better able to recall facts about Renaissance art during exams because my experiences abroad had laid a foundation of knowledge for me to draw upon. My realization that my program has lended me an academic advantage in my classes has contributed to my interest in studying abroad again.
