“If it weren’t for groups like the Trading Post... our athletic organizations would truly suffer.  I hope that I can be an example to other young athletes at Fairfax and prove that if you continue to work hard, never giving up when everyone says that you should, your efforts will be rewarded.  I plan to continue my education as well as pursue my athletic dreams.”
