  2. My name is Sarah Engel.
  3. I'm 20 years old and I'm a student at Loyola University Maryland.
  4. I was born and raised in the small town of Ocean City Maryland.
  5. Growing up by the beach was such a blessing
  6. as a child.
  7. My family and I spent most of our weekends on a
  8. stick island which is home to hundreds of domestic ponies.
  9. This is our camper which I like to call my second home.
  10. I spent my younger days playing in the sand and eventually
  11. learned to surf and would spend all day in the ocean.
  12. The picture on the right is me driving our boat which
  13. my family drove for years until it couldn't be driven anymore.
  14. I'm lucky to have experienced my early life by the ocean
  15. and the beach will always feel like home to me.
  16. Yeah,
  17. I have a very small family with no aunts, uncles or cousins.
  18. So my immediate family is very close.
  19. I have an older sister named Caroline who was 22 and a younger sister named Gracie,
  20. who is 17.
  21. My sisters are my best friends and because our family is so small
  22. we have become very close throughout the years.
  23. My mom Kathy and dad Matt are also pictured,

  25. was a child and I owe them for the unconditional love and support.

  27. Growing up in a resort town meant getting a job at a young age.
  28. I was 14 when I got my first job
  29. selling donuts and carry out at Layton's family restaurant.
  30. Two years later I got a different job
  31. at waterman seafood restaurant running and preparing food.
  32. All the kids in my hometown work during the summers to help local restaurants.
  33. It certainly was rewarding having an income at such a young age,
  34. but it also taught me how to become independent very quickly,
  35. having the responsibility of helping run a restaurant.
  36. So young developed my work ethic and independence and
  37. has helped me succeed in academics and sports.
  38. Speaking of sports
  39. across has been a passion of mine since I was four
  40. years old and I dreamed of playing at Loyola since 8th grade
  41. across has also shaped me into who I am today.
  42. Not only for the competitive aspect,
  43. but because of the friendships and memories I have created.
  44. I thank my parents for the achievements I have made
  45. and for giving me the love and support they did.
  46. And I thank my hometown for teaching me that hard work does pay off.
  47. Although Baltimore is much different from the small town I am used to
  48. my hometown has taught me how to thrive by working hard and having fun
  49. and I always carry the town. I grew up with me
  50. now, I am playing the sport I love at my dream school
  51. and this summer I will continue to give back
  52. to my hometown by working for a local restaurant
