Christina Garcia '19 Recruiting Profile

My name is Christina Garcia, and my passion is softball.  I love the game, the teamwork, and the challenge it brings.  Playing travel ball, and now high school ball, I have continued to grow and improve as a player.  I listen to my coaches and sincerely take their advice on areas for improvement, so I can be my best.  I will soon be starting my 4th year of high school softball. My current position is pitcher, outfield and 1st base. Although my team may not win all our games, we are winning in the sense of learning the game better, working as a team, and keeping our spirit up.  I strive to be a team leader, always encouraging the players to cheer, call plays out loud, and share the skills I learn in my private lessons so we can ALL improve our batting and fielding skills.  I'm seeking a college where I can play softball, and also receive an education that will lead to a happy and successful career.  My current interests are business, healthcare, law, and computer science.  I believe I am an excellent candidate because I work hard, support others, and take pride in doing the best I can at both schoolwork and athletics.  I was Freshman Vice President, just completed leadership my junior year, and was elected ASB president my senior year of high school.   I also take martial arts, since the age of 7, and volunteer at my school to help mentor the younger students.  Giving back to the school that taught me, has helped me to be a better leader.  Thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement.
