Personal Statement
This past spring season I made it to the state semi-finals, and that really made me become mentally stronger by being able to taste victory and have it slip away. I have been playing baseball since the age of 8 and when I was 12 I suffered a leg injury. I missed an entire year of baseball. The injury made me comeback stronger, and now I want it more. While playing baseball I have learned that to play this game you have to be mentally strong; this is a very humbling game, one day you can go 3-3 with two home runs the next you can go 0-4 with four strikeouts.
Academically I always shoot for the stars, and I understand that getting good grades will only benefit me in the long run. This is why I take my academics just as serious as I do baseball. My overall goal is to play four years of college baseball while getting my degree. I play because I have a huge passion for the game. This is what I love doing, not only do I enjoy playing this game but in the end it will help me achieve my goal.
