My time at the University saw me develop a massive can-do attitude and a hunger for success. The university prides itself on its sporting excellence, and even just seeing the athletes train as you walk-by is inspiring. They are already one of the best, but they still always put in maximum effort, and you can see that. When you stay in an environment like that for a long time, it starts to positively influence your work ethic, which is exactly what happened in my case.
