Personal Statement

I always try to be the best at everything I do, whether it is for sports, academics, or life in general. I am very commited and have a great determination to strive to get better. I make sure to not let anything slip away by focusing too much on one thing. I am VERY competitive at most everything I do- my friends can attest to that. When playing on a team I make sure to have a team attitude and ALWAYS help out my teammates. I try to remain positive when faced with adversity and try to spread that positivity to my teammates and others around me. I have had straight A's all throughout my school career and am determined to keep that record going. The most important attributes I believe I have are my drive, my positivity, and my goal to always do the best I can.. and then do a little more. As for collegiate goals, I am going to graduate highschool with my Associate's Degree, then play the very best I can on a college team. After college I'm going to become a Pro golfer and play on the LPGA. I believe I am different from other recruits because the mental side of my golf game is very strong and only getting stronger. This can help my team by keeping the team morale up and inspiring my teammates. So far, I have been playing for only 4 years. I believe that, keeping this in mind, I am a very fast learner. I feel that I am a very great player for the number of years I have been playing. I'm very proud of my imagination on the golf course. I believe that I can go very far in golf with hard work and determination.
