Personal Statement

Hi, my name is Mandy Chitwood and I attend  Canyon Springs High School and the Leadership and Law Preparatory Acadamy, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. I weigh in at 120 lbs., and I'm 5'7". My biggest accomplishment this year was going to state and taking 3rd place. I'm also currently holding the regional record for Las Vegas in the 4x400M. I am a hard working student-athlete when it comes to my school work and my practices. I always strive for the best opportunity that comes my way. I have passion for anything and everything I do. I've never missed a practice or a game/meet because you have to work hard everyday to get better. It's important to have good sportsmanship and to lead my team in the most outstanding way. I have passion for basketball, track, and cross country. Im looking forward to running in track again this coming season as a Junior because this year it's my "time to shine." Although sports is a huge priority to me, my education comes first. That is why college is very important to me and I want to take every opportunity that I can get. I've been preparing for college ever since my freshman year and I want to play a sport in college so bad that I will do whatever it takes to get there. My family has financial needs. When I go to college they wont be able to provide the financial backing that I would need. As a Junior, I haven't yet decided what I want to do in college for my future but im still learning new ideas that I can take a part of. My goal this year is to make a good impact on my teams and keep my grades up for honor role. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile!!
