Personal Statement
I am a high school student who will graduate in 2016. I have played field hockey since the 4th grade. I started out in a youth club when I lived in Burke VA, playing in the 2009 to 2011 seasons. I then moved to Smithfield, VA and joined the first field hockey team that was started at my high school, in February of 2012 and was able to play on the varsity squad. At that time I decided that I wanted to play at the collegiate level. I also joined the local Focus Field Hockey club to further increase my skills and play. My family relocated to Dayton, OH where I am now attending Oakwood High School for the remainder of high school. My goal is to play collegiate field hockey and study athletic training / physical therapy and later become a physical therapist. I have been pushing myself on the field and in the class room to achieve my goal.
