Being 4/11 Analysis

Being 4'11 comes with many challenges. I constantly get used as an armrest, get asked things
such as, "How's the weather down there?", and "Can you even see over the steering wheel?" Even
though my height has prevented me from reaching many things, it has not prevented me from reaching
my goals. Being different has always pushed me to excel; When I was twelve years old, I first learned
how to use my height to my advantage. I was playing soccer during a tournament and my coach put me
in to play. The other team took one look at me and automatically assumed they could get past me, little
did they know they were in for a battle. From that point on I never stood down to any situation, I kept
training to improve and I continued to not let others

underestimate my abilities.
Nonetheless, that wasn't the first time my hard work has paid off, at school I would spend myriad
amount of time studying and practicing to make a name for myself. Pursuing the career of my dreams is
what I strive for; the journey towards it might be tough, but I aspire to push through any obstacle no
matter what. UCF says, "reach for the stars", and I intend to do just that. Even though I can't reach the top
shelf, or may need a stool every once in a while, I am nothing short of confident that I could contribute to
the UCF community in more ways than one.
