Personal Statement

Since I was little, my dream has been to play college baseball and be able to get a good education. I have always been motivated to get better and have been playing high school baseball and basketball since 7th grade.. I am a leader on and off the field and have proven this in school as a class officer since my Freshman year. I have experienced adversity in sports and have had the opportunity to step up and lead even as an underclassman. During my sophomore year, my varsity basketball team went through a lot of changes due to players getting removed from the team due to grades and behavior. Although this was hard, it gave me the opportunity to step up and be a leader. I received the offensive award at the end of the season due to my hard work and ability to lead the team. In baseball this year, I was selected for the KY East/West all star team.

I realize that making this dream come true is not going to be easy and this isn't just going to happen on it's own so I have to work to make it happen. I'm willing to do whatever it takes. My parents have raised me to push myself to be the best student athlete that I can be and I have been fortunate enough to have coaches that believe in me and support my desire to play at the college level.
