Personal Statement
My name is Nikki Phillips and sports is my passion. I have been very athletic since a very young age. I began gymnastics at five years old. I participated in competitive gymnastics during my early childhood years and was very successful reaching level 9. Unfortunately due to an injury I had to stop competing. Gymnastics taught me many things such as hard work, responsibility and detication.
I started playing lacrosse in sixth grade. I attended the Five Star camp at West Windsor NJ. This was the beginning of my lacrosse journey. I learned how to play the game with the help of Cory Easter and the other coaches in the organization. From my first practice, I knew I loved lacrosse and that I would be doing it for the rest of my life. That following summer I was placed on the Garden State Elite 2019 team where I continue to play.
I've had straight A's my whole life in every subject. I strive hard to do my best and always challenge myself to do better. I play lacrosse for my high school, Notre Dame, in Lawrenceville NJ. I am a freshman and a starting midfield player on the JV team. I love to play and work as hard as I can to lead my team to victory. One day I hope to play college lacrosse.
