Q: What is an obstacle you had to overcome in your life?
My family moved around a lot when I was a kid, so I've had to adjust to many different scenarios, people, and schools. When I moved back to Maryland from Wisconsin in 7^th grade, I couldn't catch and throw in lacrosse, and all of the girls at lacrosse camp used to make fun of me. So, while crying, I would let out my frustrations on the brick wall in front of my house, playing wall-ball alone for hours, in hopes that I'd improve. Sure enough, I was able to make the team in high school and play alongside those same girls who said I'd never be good enough. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't achieve something, just let it motivate you to achieve that thing.
