Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Kevin Maxwell. I live in Ames IA. I've been playing lacrosse since my freshmen year of high school. I've played hockey since I was seven years old, and football since I was in third grade. I played baseball since I was 5 years old through my freshmen year of high school.
My first priority has always been my grades and performance in the classroom. I've been on the honor role since 6th grade. I received an academic letter my junior year. I currently plan on studying business in college. I am a member of the National Honors Society. I try to challenge my self in the classroom by taking AP classes as well as college classes.
I've been in scouting since I was five and I am almost done acquiring the rank of eagle scout. I've been co-captain of the Ames lacrosse team, Ames varsity hockey team, and Ames freshmen, sophomore, varsity football teams. I play middle linebacker in football and defense in hockey. I am on the leadership council for my high school DECA chapter. With DECA I was able to go to nationals by qualifying at state.
I spend a lot of time volunteering with NHS, DECA, Boy Scouts, and helping out at the Ames food pantry. My favorite volunteering activity is helping out at learn to skate at the ice rink. We help teach kids mostly under seven years old how to skate.
