Being a student-athlete at Macalester has provided an outlet for me to push myself in the classroom with challenging courses that always show me that I can dig deeper and do better to master the material as it progressively gets harder, as well as providing me with the opportunity to work as hard as I can in the weight room and on the field to push myself physically. Being a student-athlete has thus given me the chance to truly try my best in every area of my life, which is a skill I will certainly take with me from Macalester.
