Personal Statement
My name is Jackson Cortes. I am currently a rising Senior at the Urban School in San Francisco. I have been playing lacrosse for 10 years. My freshman year I chose to play JV basketball and varsity cross country, but in sophomore year I picked up lacrosse again, returning to the goalie positions I played on and off in middle school.
As a goalie, I have worked hard to develop my technical and leadership skills. I have enjoyed building close relationships with my coaches and teammates on my club and school teams.
I have recently realized that I have the potential to play in college based on my accolades and development in the past year. I continue to stay focused on my academics, taking honors classes and maintaining a 3.47 weighted GPA.
