Academic Award

In the realm of academic achievement, 2023 marked a significant milestone for me as I found myself on the coveted Academic Honor Roll. This accomplishment brought about an overwhelming sense of excitement and pride, as it served as a testament to the transformation I underwent during my junior year. Setting a goal of achieving a 3.0 GPA for the semester, I surprised even myself by surpassing this target and attaining a 3.2 GPA. As I reflect on this achievement, it reinforces the notion that sometimes, it takes pushing beyond one’s perceived limits to discover the extent of one’s true capabilities. This realization has motivated me to approach future academic endeavors with a renewed sense of purpose and a commitment to continuously challenge and surpass my own expectations.

Support System

I’ve been fortunate to witness my incredible journey, and I’ve come to understand the strength and resilience that defines me. I’ve always prided myself on my ability to stand tall, never relying on anyone for support. However, a turning point occurred during the regional championships last year as I tore my plantar fascia while competing in the 4×100 relay. At first, I brushed it off, but soon, I found myself unable to even walk. Determination fueled me to consume around six painkillers, all in pursuit of qualifying for the national competition in my individual event. I achieved that goal, but it also marked the end of my season.

In that trying moment, I grappled with overwhelming despair and self-doubt. It was a challenging period where I had to depend on others, all while losing some of the closest people to me. I descended into a deep depression, contemplating the idea of quitting. Then, I reached a pivotal decision. I recognized the need to take a risk and transfer to the University of Arkansas, even though I held no certainty that it would be any better. I courageously took that leap of faith.

Upon my arrival in Arkansas, I clung to my strong personality, making it challenging to assimilate. However, I stumbled upon a remarkable support system that allowed me to be myself. They imparted the valuable lesson that it’s perfectly fine not to have every aspect of life figured out. They guided me on the significance of leaning on those around me and embracing my vulnerability. This transformative journey has empowered me to seek help when confronting insurmountable challenges, knowing that it doesn’t signify weakness but rather amplifies my strength. My story mirrors one of resilience, growth, and the fortitude that arises from embracing vulnerability.
