Favorite Quote

My favorite quote is "its not the hours you put in, its what you put in the hours." by Sam Ewing. I like this quote because it relates to pretty much everything you do in life. Specifically for me I think of it more as a sports message. It doesn't matter how many hours I put in at minimal effort, the only hours that matter are the ones where you try your hardest. I play tennis so whenever I go out to practice I set a certain amount of time out and put in my maximum amount of effort, so this quote really relates to how I think as well.

Characteristic to change

A characteristic I would like to improve over the course of my college stay is to become a little more outgoing. College I think is a perfect place to try and make this change, because I am constantly around people and I don't really know any of them. It's a good opportunity to meet new people and to do that I need to be more outgoing. I don't want to just be more outgoing around friends, but in the classroom as well. I would like to get myself to become more active in class discussions, which is something I did not do much during high school.

Social Goal

The social goal I have for college is that I hope to become friends with the players on the tennis team. I think it's important to have friendship with your teammates in order to have a successful season. I hope to accomplish this by going to every practice and staying positive during matches.

Academic goal

My academic goal is to not fail any classes and to have over a 3.0 throughout college. Because im playing tennis I need to make sure that I don't fail off of the team and also I need to make sure that I don't fail and have to retake the same classes. In addition, I want over a 3.0 so I don't have any worries throughout my college years.
