I first started skiing when I was 3 years old. Although I don't remember much from that time specifically, it built the foundation of a life-long activity I'm able to enjoy with my family. Skiing is a lot more to me than just a sport or activity because my family made it an important aspect in my life from the beginning. I'm grateful for my family getting me started on something I now love so early on.

I broke my first bone when I was 4 years old. I had fallen off my new bike I just got for Easter. This was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. This experience taught me to be brave even in scary and unknown moments. This was one of the first times I learned to toughen up.

My parents getting divorced was definitely one of the biggest changes of my life. My living situation became completely different. From then on, I honestly never felt like I had a very solid home. They were just known as my mom's house or my dad's house. This experience taught me how to deal with big adjustments, gave me independence, and also made me understand relationships better and how they don't always work out.

Going to China and somewhat living the lifestyle there was a major eye-opening experience. I got to see the working conditions in warehouses, how people live everyday, their food, and so much more. It was not only a huge culture shock, but it also gave me a ton of appreciation for how we live in America. I really didn't fully understand our privilege until I experienced how so many other people live.

Only people who ski understand how much skiing 1 million vertical feet really is, but for me it is a huge accomplishment. This experience taught me how to continue pushing myself everyday to reach my big goal. It also taught me persistence and to never give up even when I really just want to be done for the day. This is something I will always be proud of.

Going to Benet was a huge step for me because I had gone to public school my whole life. Benet also has the reputation of being a very demanding and disciplined school. Attending this school taught me how to manage by time efficiently, keep up my self-motivation, and so many more life skills that I will use forever. I definitely am happy I decided to go to Benet because it has overall made me a much better and more hardworking student.
