Danielle Olson Cl...Personal Statement
I have played softball ever since I was eight, and have always hoped for the opportunity to play in college. I'm primarily a catcher and third baseman, but also a utility player and can play any position. I typically bat in the 3-4-5 spot for my travel and high school team. I am interested in pursuing a major in either the Medical field, Psychiatry or Education. I would love to attend a University that can provide an outstanding education to prepare me for my future, and if that could be combined with the opportunity to play on an amazing softball team, it would be a dream come true.
