Kelsey Spencer, Education & Science Student

For as long as I can remember I've been involved in competitive sports. They have taken me to positions of leaderships, collaboration and all over the country and beyond. More importantly they have given me skills that are invaluable in education and in life: the meaning of healthy competition, the value of teamwork, the appreciation of unique abilities and the strength to perservear in the face of adversity. 

In every aspect of my life, I put stress on acceptance and the importance of diversity. Everyone has a special point of view, or perception to bring to a situation and it is important to recognize and celebrate our differences.

Art has also been an important aspect in my life. I have found great joy and solitude when sketching, designing and creating new and unique pieces of art.
