Personal Statement
My name is Ekolu Watanabe. I am a Freshman at Ventura College, in Ventura, California. I am a 5ʻ10", 175 lb left-handed pitcher and outfielder.
I love to play baseball not only because I love the sport, but also because I enjoy being part of a team. I have played baseball since I was 5 years old. I have grown both as a player and a person because of baseball. I have learned sportsmanship, respect, how to be a leader as well as a team player, and to have resilience.
My goal is to go to college to obtain an education and to play baseball. I am willing and able to put in the hard work that is necessary to succeed at the college level in both academics and in athletics. I will use the values that I am learning in baseball to be a successful student-athlete, and a contributing member of my home and school community.
