About running (on this team, and in general):
Running is more than just something I do; it is a part of who I am. When I run, I feel alive because I am doing something for me and no one else. I run to achieve my own goals and realize my own dreams. It is in my own accomplishment that I find true happiness. Running with the NYU team keeps me focused on my goals. We all feed off each others energies and push each other to become better.

About being at NYU:
Everything one does should have a purpose. Always ask "why?" or "what for?" when confronted with a decision. I am studying at Stern because it is in one of the better business schools in the country and because of the many internship opportunities. I am not going to NYU because there is so much to do in the city; those things are merely distractions.
