Life consists of much more important things, such as your legacy and your impact on the world. My main foundation for leaving a proper impact on the world are my morals. According to Merriam Webster, a morale is “of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior “. Each individual person, I believe, can set morales for themselves and they can vary from person to person. Many of my morales are guided by my religious beliefs and my life experiences.

Entering my first high school track and field season was so exciting--it was the start of my discus career where I could actually compete amongst other talented throwers in a span of many more meets.
