The idea of “Just One More” intrigues me. I have always been driven, motivated, and purposeful, but I have not labeled these characteristics as “Just One More. “ My soul feels the connection. I see possibilities in the world. I ask the question “why” instead of “why not,” and choose to see through the lens of “I can.” I want my days to be full and those around me to be better because they know me. As I reflect on Jake’s life and legacy, I love the characteristics he modeled - the outdoors - art - creativity - entrepreneurship. He made an incredible impact on others, and I am inspired to continue the “Just One More” legacy. Without knowing, I have actively engaged in “Just One More” footprint including academics, sports, outdoors, gathering people, and entrepreneurship. I would like to focus on three: running, gathering others, and entrepreneurship. First, I am always game for one more run. I have been running since second grade starting for fun with my family, then becoming more disciplined in eighth grade joining the high school track team. Since then, I have improved my 5k time from a 21:20 to a 16:39, placed second in the state in the 4x800 and won the Louisville 10k. Most importantly, I have found a sport that I love, gained lifelong friendships, discipline, perseverance, and passion. Not only has running been a “Just One More” experience, but gathering people has become a passion. Our modest home has been a hub for multiple communities - college kids my mom has mentored, family gatherings, and bible studies, And my parents have taught me to continue this legacy. Beyond our home this passion continues whether through gathering teams for pickleball matches, inviting others to my local church youth group or connecting teammates for mutual encouragement. I know what it feels like to want community, so I intentionally bring it wherever I go. How we treat others may be one of the most important legacies we leave. Finally, I understand “Just One More” in entrepreneurship. I want to own my own business one day. I started small with owning my own dog sitting business but have bigger dreams. I love the opportunity to create. I want to go into engineering - not for the field of engineering itself but for problem solving and lifelong creativity. In my current engineering class we are creating a product that could revolutionize relay timing and it brings me joy to innovate in the running world I love. Life is a gift. Day by day, friend by friend, opportunity by opportunity is meant to be experienced and valued. I recognize the moments in front of me and want to value each one of them whether it be a daily run, gathering of those around me or by creating in an area I am passionate about. I love the idea of “Just One More.” It gives me a mindset to make the most of the experiences in front of me daily and face them with love, excitement and excellence.
