WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AND WHY?
The best class I've taken so far is Investments. Professor Chambers did a great job of teaching us important life advice and lessons while keeping the class entertaining.
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? WHY HAVE THEY BEEN SO INFLUENTIAL? My parents have shown me what it means to put others before yourself. They've also taught me to discover my own values, beliefs, etc., and to stay true to those.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIEL HAS BEEN... Perseverance and grit is important, especially in athletics, but will also set you apart later in life. The habits you build now are the building blocks to finding success.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… To be the best version of myself I can be. Provide value in whatever role I have on my team. Do your job exceptionally, no matter how big or small it may seem.
