Personal Statement

For as long as I can remember I have been looking forward to playing D1 college baseball.

I want to be a member of a team that works hard and has high expectations for success. I would like the baseball team I play for to be leaders in the school community. Since community service has been a big part of my life at Montclair Kimberley Academy as well as in my home, I want to be a part of a team that gives back to the community.  

Since I consider myself a scholar athlete, my goal is to play D1 baseball at the most rigorous academic school possible.  I aim to major in business/economics.
