Personal Statement
My name is Alisa Kong. I am a senior at Lakeview Centennial High School as of the '17-'18 school year. I've been playing baseball for six years, and softball for four years. I am very dedicated in bettering myself in both academics and extracurricular activities inside and out of school. I aspire to be within the top ten percent of my graduating class. I've set forth a goal to reach any and all scholarships available to me when it comes to softball. I've dedicated and will continue forth to do so until even after my senior year to be noticed by schools both minor and major college and universities, but I won't settle for the least. I want to do this for my parents who supported me in every and any way possible, even though I pissed them off to the max. I want to do this for my dad who had the chance to take a wrestling, football, baseball, and soccer scholarship, but he accepted none because he chose to take care of his family instead. I want to do this for my mom because even though she doesn't really watch sports, she's always been my number one fan in supporting me and coming as often to my games as she could. To play, and have my education paid for in college or university would be a dream come true. As much as I want to do it for my family, I want to do it for myself as well, to know that I accomplished something with all the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears into getting as far as I could, and the extra push from both friends and family only strengthens my goal. Even if I'm accepted into any school, and I'm benched for anything wrong I did, I'd push everything out and focus on the game, cheer on for the team I play for out on the field, because if no one else cheers, I will. If anyone is in need of help, then I'd be glad to help, and I'd like to expect the same if I'm in need of it. I want to create lasting memories that I can talk about long after I leave the field for the last time. I want to remember all the good and the bad just from one glance at a simple number. I want to be the backbone of any team, the one girl who can lift everyone's spirit up. I want to be the best.
