What makes you different?

My natural ability to balance my obligations and my ability to relate to other people. I can easily make friends and I don't get jealous of anyone. I find I can keep myself focussed for prolonged periods of time without getting side tracked, a quality I think most people don't have. My commitment to succeed is second to none, I will not let anyone down and my drive for success is extremely high. I always do something if I am told and rarely say no. I treat everyone how I like to be treated and always have a smile on my face regardless of my feelings.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I want to become the best version of myself and progress my career to the next level. I want to experience a new culture, environment with like minded people driving towards the same goal. Scotland offers a great level of support and facilities but to take myself to the next level as an athlete and person, I believe America is the place for me to do this. After all, its the land of opportunities, right?

College Goals?

Break 1min 55 for the 800m.
Break 8min 40 for the 3000m
Break 14.50 for the 5000m

Anything else we should know?

I will not let you down, believe me.
