"Winners never quit, quitters never win." Though out my whole life I was a very active child. I started playing soccer when I was five, started to ski when I was two, and immersed in those years I also played basketball, softball, and tennis. |

Ski Racing!
Soccer!I started playing soccer when I was five years old. I started with a rec team, and I played with that team till I was about twelve, then I played with a club team for eight grade, and when I got into high school I played JV for two years, and varsity my junior and senior year. I love soccer, it is a great team sport that taught me a lot about team work and working together. It is also a place where i met a lot of my best friends. I love soccer and had a great time playing it. |
Tennis, Basketball, Softball Tennis, Basketball, and Softball were all sports that I only participated for a season or two. My parents really wanted me to play a spring sport and after weeding out softball when I was a child, I tried out for the tennis team my sophomore year and realized I was not very good, so I started working during the spring season for the years after that. As far as basketball goes I played for a season but basketball season conflicted with skiing so that didn't last to long. |

Skiing is in my blood.Skiing is the one thing I was meant to do at least iat some point in my life. Both of my parents ski raced when they were younger, and in fact they meet on the mountain, at a coaches meeting. My father got me on skis around the age of two, I started taking lessons when I was five, and by age eleven I started racing for Mt.Hood Academy. The Mt.Hood Academy is a team that represents The Pacific Northwest Ski Association, and that is a sector of the United States Ski Association. By my sophomore year of High school I qualified for Junior Olympics, and I was also a state contester all four years of my high school career, placing in the top ten every year. I was also top five in league all four years and my senior year I was league champion.
