I am committed to sports and my education. I commit myself to sports because I love playing them and they help me create goals for myself to reach. The same thing goes for education, as succeeding in class will aid me in the future.

Thinking about my future motivates me a lot. When I don’t feel like going to school or just waking up so early in the morning, I think about how important it is.
