Personal Statement
I am first, and foremost, a follower of Jesus Christ. I am the youngest of 5 children and look up to my older brothers and sisters as role models along with my parents. I've watched my older brothers proudly serve our country as Marines and have developed my strong leadership characteristics, sound moral character and desire to succeed watching and striving to be as strong as the role models they have been to me. I am a leader within my school amongst my peers and the students preparing to enter high school. I know academics are critical to my future and seek to constantly improve myself through meeting the challenges that an advanced college preparatory education provides. I enjoy mentoring younger athletes and provide student coaching to beginning players in the community. I believe in encouragement, in uplifting each player to strengthen the team and know as a team we rise and as individuals we fall. I am a Christian, a good son, a caring brother to my brothers and strong protective brother to my sister. I am a leader, a student and I am a baseball player. The most peaceful place I know is on the mound and there's no place I'd rather be when the game is on the line.
