What are your future college, service, future goals?
Price: “I will be attending Princeton University in the fall, where I plan to major in mechanical or environmental engineering. One of my goals is to work on technology that can be used in developing countries to solve problems such as a lack of clean-drinking water.”
How do you describe leadership?
Price: “I think that good leaders are defined by the very subtle things that they do. Leadership doesn’t always involve big gestures or recognition. I think it’s more about being there for your teammates on and off the field, being able to rally them together when they’re down, being a good example for those on your team. Basically, the most important quality of a leader is selflessness; they’re always thinking about what’s best for the team and their actions reflect that.”
How do you balance lacrosse, school and extracurriculars?
Price: “Whenever I’m in season I actually feel more organized. Having practice every day from 3 to 5 p.m., I know I don’t have time to procrastinate when it comes to schoolwork, so I get right to it when I get home. Juggling sports, extracurriculars and my volunteering actually helps keep me focused.”
