Driven to Succeed

        In my bubble map, an adjective I would like to elaborate upon is driven.  I am a very goal-oriented person, and the word driven describes this important aspect of my personality.  Of this I am proud, and I think my drive, and the determination and resilience coupled with it help me to have success-- in sports, academics, and in life.  My drive keeps me focused on the task at hand so that I will put my very best work into it, while also helping me consider the effects of my actions.  I am driven, and this makes me a hard worker.  I put everything that I have on the table, and I feel happiness and no regrets; this too, is as a result of me being driven.  The goals from my drive motivate me to press onward and never give up.  As a serious athlete, in basketball and soccer, this is critical.  But my drive also allows me to consolidate the importance of one goal versus another, and to value education and academics above all.
