November 2016Personal Statement
With academics being my number one priority, it has always been my dream to play Baseball at the collegiate level.
I have maintained a good GPA of 3.7 throughout high school while playing two varsity sports. My academic goals are to earn a degree in pre-dentistry, ultimately leading to a career in orthodontics. I have a personal story that leads me towards pursuing this field of study. Hopefully one day, I can make it easier for others that , like me, have endured a journey through life dealing with their orthodontic issues.
On the field you can count on me to give 100% effort 100% of the time. I will outwork you. And, although I am not the biggest or strongest athlete on the field, what sets me apart from others are my work ethic, team first mentality, sound fundamentals, and attention to detail. Quickness, speed, great reaction time, and glove work are the foundations of my game. The team can always count on me to make plays when they're needed.
I look forward to fulfilling my dream, and helping my team to reach their goals.
