What makes me unique is that I've never let being shy or other people's opinions stop me from chasing my dreams. I've always been someone who works hard for what I want, even when the odds aren't in my favor. From being the first girl to play on my middle school's tackle football team to becoming a softball captain and earning the opportunity to play in college, I've learned that determination and hard work can take me further than I ever imagined. I may not always be the loudest person in the room, but I lead through my actions, stay true to myself, and never back down from a challenge.
