Aidan Pickener '18 Recruiting Profile

I was raised being a student first and an athlete second. I strive to do my best, and encourage others to focus on their goal when I see them struggling.  I believe I am a well-rounded student and athlete and work hard to achieve that status everyday.  I plan to succeed throughout my high school career along with my soon to come college career and future after college.  Something different about me is I naturally tend to quietly lead by example. I do the work necessary and support my team mates to feel included and build skills through practice and demonstration.   I am an above average student with a 3.6 GPA.  I think outside the box, often, and choose electives that I am interested and will challenge me as well. This past year, I took a senior level business management independent study and this upcoming year I will be taking a dual enrollment entrepreneurship class, which is a class that gives you the opportunity to earn your high school credit along with a college level credit.  Of more interest to me, is the idea of a much more challenging level of learning.  I want to be a part of the college community and join clubs I am interested in.  I am looking forward to being invested in lacrosse at college, which is my priority second to my academics. I thrive with having a team that supports each other, on and off the field.   I always enjoy meeting new people and being able to connect with others.  Being an invested, dedicated member of a lacrosse team at a college that will give me the foundation for a solid future is my college and lifetime goal at this point.  So, you ask what are my college goals and aspirations?  These opportunities, college and lacrosse, will influence my life,  my relationships with others, and future career.
