Zach Johnson 2017...Personal Statement
I started lacrosse in seventh grade. Since I picked up my stick for the first time I was hooked, and had a strong desire to play in college. This passion and desire has pushed me to train more, and be the best player possible.
All throughout my high school career academics have come first before everything else, and that has payed off as my GPA is a 4.0 I want to go to medical school after college to pursue being some sort of doctor, and will stop at nothing to achieve that goal.
Since I started playing lacrosse at a later age than most of my teammates, I was not as skilled as them. After the first few practices, I set my mind to being the best and after much hard work and three years later, I became the only freshman starting varsity. This was a big achievement for me, and fueled me to have a great season. Ending my sophomore year as the MVP of my team, I also received first team all conference, and second team all state, a great example to me that my time put in was well worth it.
Overall, I want to find a college where I can get a good education and also play lacrosse. I wan't to play at the highest level possible, but am very open to any and all options. I wan't to prove to people that if you put in the work it pays off.
