Personal Statement
My name is Brandon Sharpe I am a 2012 graduate and play baseball with the Florida Hardballers team located in Gainesville Florida as well as Varsity Baseball. I have been on Varsity since my Freshman year. I am from a small town where your word is highly valued, hard work pays off and family is first. During my high school years I have taken a full load of Honors and AP classes while continuing to be very active in student goverment, leadership, mentoring, playing travel ball and Varsity Baseball/Soccer. I am able to juggle many extracurricular activies while maintaining my grades. I have used this as preparation for life as a college student athlete. I also give back to the community by helping with the local Babe Ruth league I played with. I am dual enrolled and this semester I attend class on campus for College Algebra at Florida Gateway College in Lake City Florida (89/B). My current High School GPA 3.5, cummulative GPA is 3.2. (Our school system does not weight grades.) My family has been a wonderful support system for me in my life especially my desire to play baseball while I attend Junior College. Staying in Florida is a preference but I would be open to South Georgia or Alabama. I have not decided on a major at this time, more than likely it will be mathmatically related. My goal is to play as a Freshman. One of my strengths is situational pitching for which I have the patience and composure. Velocity 80's. (still growing, lots of projection)
