2-14-2019 Pitchin...Personal Statement
Playing baseball at the college level is one of my life goals. I would contribute to any team by being a self-starter with a strong work ethic. In addition to being physically strong, I am emotionally strong and mature for my age. Being able to look at a situation and figure out a way to solve a problem is something I feel is one of my strengths. Keeping my eyes on a goal to follow thru and achieve that goal is what I try to do, even if it isn’t always easy. I have good relationships with my peers as well as the adults in my life, and have friends from a variety of age groups and backgrounds. I feel I am a practical person that is genuine, and I value these qualities in others. I apply these skills in my own lawn care business, in which I serve about 25 full-time customers, which are comprised of private residences as well as businesses.
