Personal Statement
One of my biggest goals that I have ever had is to continue playing baseball at a higher level, from little league higher competition for me was to play in all stars after that was to make my high school team, and now approaching my senior year to continue playing higher competition is to play in college whether that be at a junior college or a 4-year. And if I do play in college I dont want to stop there I want to continue and pursue my baseball dream. Academics have definitely played a huge role in my baseball career and in my life because from school I learned that you get what you put into things, if you dont try in school you cant expect to get good grades but if you study and work hard for what you want you will get it. The way I put this concept into baseball is that if you only do what is expected of you to do, for example who practice when its required then you are going to get average results, so when I go to the gym I train my hardest like it will be my last workout session, and do extra batting practice even when nobody is watching because I'm not trying to be an average player because anyone can do that. Being a part of a team has helped build more character and better friendships with people who normally wouldnt be my friend, on my teams I have played on I wouldnt really be someone to really start team breaks/conversions but this summer ball season that I just finished taught me how to be a leader because I wanted to be the teammate who would be there for another teammate if they were down because they weren't having the best game or if they were frustrated that they just struck out, I decided to be that kind of teammate because I realized that is a teammate that I needed.
