Sweat poured down my face as I sprinted. Two enormous defenders ready to attack me like savage beasts awaited. My heart slowed down as I realized my destiny depended upon my next move. As I tried to compose my next move‚ the world slowed down and everything was completely muted. I had two options; get tackled and get the ball taken away or make a swift choice and get through both of them. I made a split second decision that secured my fate.

The concept that I believe to be the most important to me is Understanding Diversity. The reason that this is important to me is that it says who we are as people and being blind to this concept can have long lasting effects on both leaders and followers.

Something that I describe as a talent that is meaningful to me is cheerleading. I have been a cheerleader for as long as I can remember. Cheerleading‚ over the years‚ has become a very important part of my life. Through cheerleading I have learned the values of hard work and being a part of a team.

It acts as a gateway to creativity and self-discovery‚ or as an aid in studying and solidifying knowledge. Writing as an art has been important to me.
