WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY? Politics of Inequality is the best class I’ve taken at Linfield because it is a discussion-based class where we are encouraged to think critically based on provided materials and also to discuss with our peers, use our voices and talk about real world issues.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… The greatest lesson I have learned in competing in athletics at Linfield has been perseverance. I was injured my freshman year and had to work through the medical system to the point of getting a rare surgery to fix it. Through it all, my coach and my teammates kept me going. They encouraged me to keep working towards a solution, to keep doing physical therapy and to not give up. Being on such an amazing team at Linfield is what made it possible for me to dance again this year.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… To really enjoy my senior season and to bring new athletes into a team where they feel supported and encouraged to be both good athletes and good students.
