Personal Statement
Kids my age nowadays view the very idea of their big dream as unattainable. The way most perceive successful people is that luck and/or talent punched their ticket. Luck is when opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it. As far as talent, that is only a part of the equation. The person who wants to attain their dream goes to work and gets the job done - it doesn't matter whether they're sick, it doesn't matter if they're sore or if they're tired. The road to success is paved with, among other things, commitment, and I am fully committed to playing baseball on the collegiate level and beyond.
