Personal Statement
Like any other student athlete, my dream is to play in a higher level of competition. I've been playing ball since i was 6 years old and have continued it through out my life and my love for the game continues to grow bigger and bigger each time i step within the white lines. If money wasn't a big deal i would be playing year around ball but that is not the case, hopefully this time next year and i can find a club suitable for me to improve on my skills. I've also done other sports like: Volleyball ( 6 years), Soccer ( 2 years), Track ( 2 years), Cross Country ( 1 year), and Cheerleading ( 1 year) . I'm currently only doing Softball along side volleyball and soccer. Being a year around athlete has helped me to not become lazy and always stay active. Since i am a year around athlete my grades are always good , because student does come before athlete. My mom has been a big inspiration on having a better life and without a good education that wont really become possible or easy to obtain. What better way to get education and playing ball at the same time and even better if that education is paid for with a scholarship. I also want to live up to both of my brothers expectations. They were both offered a full ride to play baseball at Illinois Valley Community College, one as a Pitcher and the other one as Catcher. My goal is to play in a high competitive level while getting a good education.
