Personal Statement
My name is Alivia Mercuro and I am a student at Parsippany High School. I have been playing softball for my whole life in all seasons. I started varsity as a catcher when I was a freshman and batted 5th and now I and the starting 3rd baseman for my high school team and I bat 3rd or 4th. I have been a part of many winning teams over my years including the Par-Troy East Little League All-Star team in the summer of 2015. We brought home the 2015 New Jersey State Championship title for our town. Last year my high school team won the state section title and I made the game winning out. I have been described by my coaches and teammates as "chipmunk" because I am always the one on the fence cheering and picking my teammates up after a rough inning. I take honors classes and excel in the classroom. All of my teachers tell me I am a pleasure to have as a student and tell me that I am the real definition of a leader. I hit the ball hard, get on base, am a dependable base runner and make the plays that others cannot. I am a utility player that can put a boom in any lineup.
