Personal Statement
As an experienced lacrosse player and honor student it has been a long-term goal of mine to attend a reputable college where, first and foremost, I have access to a quality education, and, have the opportunity to play competitive lacrosse. For the past seven years I have played at the highest level in California, on both travel and school teams. Last year, as a freshman, I was awarded most valuable player on the JV squad, and this past year as a sophomore, most valuable "attackman" on the varsity squad. Most important to me, however, is my desire to be a contributor to a team, for success within a team structure is more important to me than individual awards. While I am extremely tenacious and athletic, I find highest praise when my coaches have called my a "leader" or "coachable." I am looking for a college community where I can find academic and athletic success, while having the opportunity to be of service to others as my lacrosse coaches and teammates have been to me.
