Racing, Running, Rising to the Top

I always took creativity as coming up with an invention, the best idea, or something that is so out there it’s almost impossible. Well, I realized that's not the case. Inspiration fuels my spark.

Running. Racing. Rising to the top. All of that, along with my achievements and goals sprouted from one man in my life. My dad. If it weren’t for his constant positive reminders to keep working hard and trying my best, I don’t see myself as the person I am today. He put me into sports and ultimately convinced me to pursue track. That’s where I flew and really started to take running seriously and make it a part of my everyday life.

To the two-time marathoner man, twin ice cream addict, and strongest support system thank you. Thank you for fueling my everyday persistence, motivation, and spark in running. My spark in my classes and in my life. Whether it be running my first half marathon, to being the team leader in a group project.

Continuing to Creatively push me in all aspects of my life, thank you for everything Dad.
