My Story:

A MVP is not always the most talented player or the player who scored the most points, but the player with the most heart who never gave up when the road got rough but continues putting their best foot forward and helped others be the best they can be until the job is completed. My friends have always called me the overachiever because I try to be involved in everything and I never settle for anything but the best. Whether it’s on the field, on the track, or in the classroom I always put my best foot forward and give it everything I got. Even though personal success is rewarding my greatest feelings of accomplishment have not been fulfilled with personal success, but with helping others become just as successful. Through my work in my local community I have been able to aid others to also be successful in their personal goals and aspirations. As I embark on my journey to higher level education I know the values of determination, helping others, and never giving up will help me be prosperous and continue to be a MVP in every aspect of my life.
