Greatest Moment at Wesleyan: The first championship I won for track and field for open 400, open 200 and 4×4 relay. Also rushing KA. They have been my best moments I’ve had here thus far.
Most Embarrassing Moment: When I walking home from school with friends and there was this dog in my neighborhood that didn’t like me. He was a little poodle. I decided to tease him one day, not realizing that he wasn’t chained. The dog started barking and chased me down the street. I was screaming and got to my door, but it was locked. I started screaming for my mom to let me in, but she stood in the window laughing at me instead. The dog caught up and bit me. Needless to say I was very embarrassed in front of my friends after they saw that!
