Athletes Dream Ashley Hicks | Track | Page 8


 INTERVIEW What’s your story? ! I started athletics because of my parents got my sister into it, dad was president and mum was team manager, both parents did athletics growing up. Mum passed away when I was ten, and I’ve continued athletics ever since, winning three trophies that were at my little athletics club in recognition of my mother and the importance of personal bests and improving which she instilled in myself. I would say everything about me makes me different apart from my passion for sport which so many people have in common, I would say I’m different as I have leadership skills, I have been attending my high school for only just over a year and have already taken on leadership roles, my organizational skills I think make me different to most teenage boys, my empathy and the simple fact that I’m Australian. My upbringing makes me different, the music I like, and possibly the fact that I love photography ! Life Goals? ! I want to travel the world, work and make a difference to the lives of others I think that’s as complex as I can be at this stage ! ATHLETES  DREAM  |  ASHLEY  HICKS 8
