since Freshman year‚ weightlifting has been a massive part of my life.

Part of me wanted to give up and avoid the risk of disappointment and failure‚ but I chose to pursue my goals despite my fear of failure that stood in my way.

I’m still known as this girl at the moment it may not seem like it but it is. Once I got comfortable with the fact that my parents weren’t going to be together anymore‚ I started to feel better about it and not worry about what people say.

There is absolutely nothing I am more passionate about than this great sport. So much so that my excitement for it sometimes can actually greatly annoy my family whenever we are not racing or when a NASCAR race is not being broadcasted to TV. Unsurprisingly‚ I have been deeply interested in racing for just about my entire life. At the young
