Personal Statement
I am 17 years old and a senior at Franklin High School. I am a starter for my high school team and have been playing lacrosse since the 7th grade. I have been the co-captain for both my sophomore and junior years. My primary position is attack but I have played midfield with much success.
I have very good stick skills, and great field vision allowing me to feed the ball to teammates or finish around the goal. This past season I scored 40 goals and I have led the team in assists for my past two varsity years.
I am looking for a college lacrosse program where I can be an asset to the team and that will challenge me to improve my game. I am a team player, very coachable with an excellent work ethic and consider myself to be a valuable addition to any lacrosse program at the college level.
As a student, I currently am an honor student with a GPA last semester of 3.80. While playing lacrosse at the college level is something I am striving for, at the same time I understand the importance of getting a quality education. In this respect I am looking for a school which is a good match for me personally and academically. At this time I have chosen to pursue an education in Civil Engineering.
