Personal Statement
My name is Mikayla Castillo, and I am a Senior at Walden Grove High School. I am the libero for my varsity team and have been for 3 years now along with Point Guard, Shooting Guard and wing for my varsity basketball team. I am familiar with playing middle back (played middle back my sophomore/junior year) and this year it changed and I played left back for my club and high school team. I have been apart of both Varsity Basketball and Varsity Volleyball since I moved to Sahuarita as a Sophomore from New Mexico. I got invited to try out for the Under Armor Volleyball Factory National Tryouts and made the team my junior year and senior year. This year I am number 1 in my section with the most digs. This year my team attended playoffs on Thursday November 4th in Prescott for the first time
in history. This year I received MVP for my high school team, and best defense. I received Player of the year for Max preps this year as well (http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/mickey-castillo/4h7Hr2vSEeW-8KA2nzwbTA/awards.htm). Not only am I involved in athletics at Walden, I am also involved in many clubs. I am apart of the yearbook team/club, Wellness Club, Spanish Club, Class of 2016 Club, Link Leader Crew, Varsity Volleyball and Varsity Basketball. Not only am I thought of as a captain/leader on the court but in the walls of Walden as well. Being on various number of sports teams has helped me get comfortable with different athletes, work well with others, accept others and helped me understand teamwork along with truly being apart of a team. Although I am involved with many things at Walden I am still able to manage getting good grades and am able to keep a 3.2 gpa. I am always putting school first and making sure to keep it my #1 priority, I am always focused on bettering myself for the future and doing whatever I can to reach all my goals set.
