examples of great horsemen. Beyond their athletic ability, they demonstrate integrity and discipline better than anyone I’ve ever met in my life. I look up to them so much because although they have big names in this industry, everything they do revolves around
the well-being of the horse, which is how it should be. Furthermore, I’ve spent more time with Scott and Courtney than I have my own parents in the past four years. Being on the circuit and showing, I was not home a lot and Scott and Courtney helped raise
me into the person I am today. They instilled values in me like hard work, truth and a drive to be the best. I am so lucky to know them and hope to carry on a similar level of professionalism in my career one day.</span><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

and ride any horse available to me at the time when I was younger. I am very comfortable switching onto any horse and feel confident in my abilities to put in a good round or pattern on a horse I don’t know. I feel like no matter how good you get in the sport
there is always something you have to work on and this sport will always keep you humble. Right now, something I’m trying to work on the most, is my position in the flat box. Although I have a nice position, I need to get stronger without my stirrups on lazier
horses. I think I grew a lot after my freshman year and hope to continue to improve throughout my time at Baylor.

</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">I feel like I could go on and on about this question forever. Why did I choose Baylor? Well, who wouldn’t choose Baylor. Although I don’t know that I necessarily did choose it but Baylor
chose me. From the second I stepped on campus. I felt a tug on my heart, and I know that is such a cliché thing to say, but it is genuinely the truth and I don’t have another way to describe it. I had such real talks with the coaches and the girls here on
the team. All seems so genuine and kind. The organization of the barn was top-tier in the horse care as well, which is something that is very important to me. It was interesting because Baylor was not necessarily even on my radar before I went to visit. But
the second I stepped foot on campus that day I knew that was the only place I wanted to be. Besides just how much I instantly loved the equestrian team, the Christian culture at Baylor is something that drew me in completely. The way you can feel God‘s presence
on campus is something special and honestly, I have a really hard time describing what it is like to be surrounded with like-minded people who are working to grow in their faith and serve their community as Christians. The academics at Baylor speak for themselves,
but its academic programs played a huge role in the reasons I came to Baylor. Now this might be a silly reason but a lot of the buildings reminded me of Harry Potter and well that is simply the most magical movie series ever and one of my favorites so it really
just felt like home. Like I said, I don’t think I really chose Baylor. It wasn’t even on my radar but Baylor chose me the second I stepped on campus in Waco. I knew this is where I was supposed to be.</span><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Unfortunately, I have had a lot of big obstacles to overcome in my life although looking back on them I would not be the person I am without any of the struggles I’ve gone through. I have
one that specifically stick out to me. I was 17 and in the process of college recruitment, trying to qualify for nationals and world championships as well as medal finals across the United States. I got a really bad riding accident and fractured my spine.
I also tore every muscle from L4 to my sacrum. This was in the middle of my competition season and I still needed many points to qualify for the nationals (competition) that I wanted to compete in at the end of the year. This accident happened at a horse show
and earlier that day I had competed in a class I had been working towards my whole life, the WCHR, junior classic down in Wellington, Florida. If I remember correctly, there were about 70 riders competing and the top 12 from the first round get called back
to compete for a second round. I had a very good first round and got a nice score but like I said there were 70 riders and so I was not sure if I would make it to the second round. In between the first and the second round, I went to show another horse where
the accident happened. I just found out that I qualified to come back for the second round on my personal horse who I showed earlier before I went in the ring and had the accident on the other horse. Although I was not conscious for a little bit, and the medics
recommended I go to the hospital. I was not about to let a dream I had been chasing my whole life down the drain when it was sitting right in front of me. Looking back on this to this day, I’m still not really sure how I did this because of how much pain I
was in. I think it must have been the amount of adrenaline I was experiencing, I got a jump, and although it hurt too much to fully sit in the saddle, I have seated around the ring in the second round of the junior classic to an even higher score that I got
in my first round and ended up overall after I returned home to find out my diagnosis and was told to take at least four months off. I had another show in two weeks.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">I laid in my bed for those two weeks and contemplated a lot. The pain I was in will affect my riding and the fact that if I don’t show at all in the next four months. I certainly
will not make it to nationals or finals I wanted to go to impact likely of getting recruited. Despite the amount of pain, I was in I put on a back brace and hobbled to my horses when it was time to get on. I iced my back before and after I rode and immediately
go back to laying down the second I got off. I went to college recruiting and I went to nationals and WR finals, although this might not have been the best decision for my body, it was the decision I knew I had to make for my career. Finally after about a
year, I stopped feeling as much pain. This experience shaped me because I truly learned what grit meant and now I live by that word. It showed me how much you can truly do when you really want something and whenever I’m struggling, I look back and remember
how much genuine pain I was in while I continued to push through and compete in some of the most prestigious events in our sport and always gives me hope that I can continue to persevere and do anything.</span><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">

believe it in your heart. Riding is a privilege and these animals should be treated like our best friends. We are so lucky to have them. When days get hard remember why you chose the sport and go back to the little girl who once fell in love with horses, simply
by the utter amusement of their beauty and grace. Work hard, enjoy the blood, sweat and tears, and the nerves. The early mornings and the late nights because I promise you, you will miss them. There is no background or upbringing that limits your ability to
