Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “I am most proud of staying out of trouble and on the right track toward success. I’m proud to have been one of the few freshmen to make it to the NIAA Track and Field State Championship and place 2nd in the 4×400 meter relay.”
Quinton is Successful Because: “My optimism, motivation and faith in God help me to be successful. I like to see things from a brighter perspective no matter how bad a situation may look. In track, if someone is faster or more in shape than I am, it motivates me to get better. My faith in God guides me throughout life to make the right decisions.”
Quinton Looks Up To: “I look up to the people who are courageous enough to stand up for what they believe in; people who have suffered from addiction but found the strength to quit. I look up to the people who are deemed losers, ugly or incapable of success, but who become winners, beautiful in every aspect of living and successful in the end.”
Quinton is Stronger and Wiser Because: “So far, I haven’t had to overcome any major obstacles. Minor experiences such as losing and getting injured have taught me things. I overcame these simple problems by learning from my mistakes, re-evaluating my habits, and changing to better myself in the long run.”
