Payton Kim - 2016...

Personal Statement

I have been a competitive athlete all my life (lefty pitcher, QB, Class 4A HS 4yr starting point guard). I played 18 holes of golf less than a handful of times before my freshman year. In less than 4 years I reduced my 18 hole average to 76 and my USGA handicap is 1.0. Neither are near my potential! I have twice been named team mvp, all conference, all-academic and twice received the IHSA Scholastic Achievement Award. I am determined to compete at the collegiate level while earning a degree in actuarial science at a highly rated school I have the aptitude, the discipline and the perseverence to succeed on the course and in the classroom.
