Personal Statement
My name is Jacob Mendoza (aka Jiggy) I'm a senior at Loara High School in Anaheim, CA. I've been playing baseball since I was 5 yrs old and started catching at the age of 7. As a young kid, I acquired the nickname "Jiggy" and that is the name I am known as today. In middle school, I played intramural sports that included: football, basketball, cross country, volleyball, and track. At the end of my 8th grade year, I received the award of "Athlete of the Year" from my school. In high school, I continued playing football and baseball. I am a dedicated athlete that plays sports because I love the game and connection I build with other players. There is no better feeling than playing the sports you love and representing your school. I always strive to be the best I can be and to never be complacent with my athletic ability.
