I am a cross-country runner, training consistently to improve my endurance and speed for both long-distance races and short sprints. Alongside my athletic pursuits, I have developed strong skills in constructive debate and discussion, evidenced by my achievements in competitions such as Mock Trial and Speech and Debate. My experiences in these areas have not only honed my ability to articulate arguments effectively but also fostered my critical thinking skills and enhanced my capacity to engage with diverse perspectives.
