Artifact 1:

Running track and cross country in high school really helped shape who I am today.  I gave me confidence and promoted living a healthy lifestyle.  I was able to make some of my closest friends through my team.  I have so many good memories of all the adventures we went on.  It boosted my self esteem and made me into who I am today.  I couldn’t imagine my life without these amazing experiences and all the great relationships I gained.

Artifact 2:

During fall break, I went on a trip to NYC with the engineering scholars groups.  I had an amazing time on the trip and it really helped me bond with some friends I already had and helped me make new friends.  We explored many different places, ate great food, and even started a band, RPTG.  I loved the experience so much and am so glad that I was able make new friends.  We hope to return as group sometime and make new memories.
