Personal Statement
My name is Colton Thomas, and it has always been a dream to play college lacrosse. I have been playing lacrosse for 6 years, as well as football for 12 years. I have also been involved in a school play and musical. For me, it is very easy to interact with other people, as well as guiding and showing them what needs to be done. I am a part of a group called YoungLife, which meets weekly to discuss religion and faith. For the younger group, Wyldlife, I am a mentor and counselor, in which I help younger kids understand their faith. I wish to play college lacrosse, while studying the major of astrophysics. For lacrosse, I have been starting since my freshman year as a face Off Midi. My junior year, I received honorable mention for all-state and all-conference as a face-off specialist. My father passed away this past April 16, 2015, and it really has given me greater perspective of what is truly important in life. I hope to aspire to be as great a man as he, while pursuing my dream of playing the game I love and earning a degree in astrophysics. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and play at the next level. I am confident I would be an asset to any program, a team player and student athlete of character.
