WHAT’S THE BEST LINFIELD CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN? The best Linfield class I have taken was Intro to Economics because it was my first econ class and it helped solidify my choice for a major.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? The greatest inspiration in my life has been my father. He has always told me to work hard and to keep trying when at first I don't succeed. I always try and remember his teachings and mentality for any obstacle I may encounter.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN… It doesn't matter how good you perform if you're a bad teammate. Just being good at your sport doesn't automatically make people like you. People would rather have a good teammate and friend than a good athlete and horrible friend.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… As a Linfield student-athlete, my individual goals are to continue to improve my times and technique. As a team, my goals are to increase the size of the team while also keeping the close-knit community that we have.
