Personal Statement
My name is Jeff Paepke. My goal for college is to get an education that will provide me with a living and will better the company I work for. I plan to graduate college in four years with good grades. It is a dream of mine to play football in College. Although I have only been playing football for two years, I have always loved the sport. In high school I started on the varsity soccer team for three years. This helped strengthen my leg and prepare me for kicking. My junior year I was a kicker for football and still played soccer. This is when I realized I had the talent to be a kicker in College. After the 2013 season I was awarded honorable mention for kicking in the North Shore conference (One of the top Conferences in the State of Wisconsin). During the summer after my junior year I went to 2 Kohl's Kicking Camps. The second camp was the National Invitational Scholarship Camp. I ended the camp ranked 89th in the nation ranked at 4.5 stars out of 5. I averaged 65 yards per kickoff. My senior year I decided to focus on football and became an outside linebacker, as well as kicker and receiver. I was awarded 2nd team all-conference for kicking and Honorable mention for outside linebacker in the North Shore conference in 2014. I will graduate high school on the high honor role and as a member of National Honor Society. I take my academics very seriously and will put that above athletics. I was invited to the North Shore athletic leadership summit and led my group there. Character is very important to me and I try to be the best that I can. College will help me be the person i was meant to be.
