July 2017Personal Statement
I have always loved the game of baseball--I would like to continue to play the game for as long as possible. I am interested in entertaining all college options that enable my passion for the sport. As a military child, I've moved around frequently in my short life. That dynamic environment has been instructive--I've learned to be flexible and to enjoy what any given state, region or country have to offer. I love to compete and am always committed to my team and the game. I have a 4.00 GPA and pursue Advanced and Honors classes. I feel I'm a scholar athlete and that I would offer unique skills and perspective to any college.
Regarding my chosen field of study, I am interested in pursuing a career around athletics. I am currently interested in getting a degree in athletic training, then returning to get my DPT (doctor of physical therapy). Other interests include a wide array--something in sports medicine, owning my own gym or high school sports coach/gym teacher.
Thanks very much for your time and consideration.
