Jacob Villareal S...Personal Statement
My name is Jacob Villareal and I attend Torrance High School in Torrance, CA. I play middle infield.
I am grateful I get to play the sport I love, I give 100% effort every time I step foot on the field. Some athlete’s may play baseball for fun, for me it’s my passion; I have played baseball all my life, and it has not only provided me with a passion, but it has taught me so much more, it has encouraged me to work hard in the classroom, it has taught me the importance of being reliable, to work together as a team, and how vital it is to respect and communicate with my coaches and teammates. I was a part of the Babe Ruth Organization for three years; The first two years we made it to regional, the third year we took it a step further and won the World Series in Willingston North Dakota. I set very high standards for myself, and that helps me improve my skills as a ball player and as a student. I have been awarded the blue collar award and the best defensive player award. I believe good work ethics is one of the most important component for success. I have a supportive family who helps me and guides me, and I am very grateful for all of the sacrifices they make for me and my brother. I know that academics will play a big roll in my future; My goal is to find a school that is a good fit for me, and a place where I can make an impact on the field.
