Amanda GaggioliArchaeology & ClassicsWest Chicago, ILWhat is your main Cornell extracurricular activity -- why is it important to you?Outside of academics, I am a member of the women's varsity soccer team. My experiences as a Division I athlete are important because they allowed me to satisfy my competitive and ambitious spirit on the soccer field, while also pushing me beyond my physical and mental limits.
