1. Being a part of the Mount crew team my freshman and sophomore years has played a major role in shaping who I am today. Prior to this experience, life was easy, but I soon learned the real meaning of hard work. I feel that these years were very crucial in developing my personality and because I was constantly challenging myself, Inow have a very determined work-ethic and self-motivation as well as an optimistic attitude about all of life's hardships.
2. Throughout the past 4 years, there have been several medical circumstances that have challenged my family and I. Specifically, my mother spent a week in the hospital last winter and I was responsible for taking care of my younger brother. Later that year, he too spent several weeks in the hospital and I was again faced with many responsibilities. Through these difficult times, I was able to give of myself in order to help others in need and learned much more about my own capacities than I ever could have imagined.
3. My friends have been a huge influence in my life. I am lucky to have several close friends whom I love and trust. Each of my friends has a unique personality and I have learned from their distinctive qualities and have come to appreciate my own individuality as well. They have all taught me how to relax, to laugh and to look on the bright side. I would not be the person I am today without their care and support.
