"I am an avid marathon runner and have traveled to 10 countries in the last three years to compete in various races. I am a competitive individual and enjoy keeping fit. My competitive nature will benefit me as a student and future veterinarian. I will have a consistent drive to deliver my best work while showing an innate need to remain top-of-the-game as an animal care provider."

The interviewers want to learn more about your personality and interests and how what you enjoy will make you an excellent student and veterinarian. For example, if you enjoy entering triathlons, it shows the interviewer that you have the dedication to train and compete and enjoy staying mentally and physically fit.
