Personal Statement
Playing baseball at the next level has been a life goal that I have had since a child. Usually, at a young age most kids do not think about their future and are that dedicated into their sport of choice; however, my life has been very different because I never stopped working hard and being as focused as I am. Most people are gonna stop their love for the game and refresh their imaging on a different goal, but I had the same goals as a 8 year-old playing in the backyard and they will never change. Everybody has up and downs, for instance, I did have to step away from the game for awhile due to bullying and obesity issues. I was severely hurt inside and I felt like I would never have the drive ever again. Around 14 years old, I tried extremely hard to work around these harsh times, then I realized that why waste any time and effort of feeling this way when I should get back to myself and be able to fulfill my dreams again. Ever since then I continued to say that I need to embrace the grind, struggle, and know that I will be great. Without the fact of my academics being amazing throughout my entire educational career, no one said success would be easy and that everything will be handed to you. I did start to achieve success as I worked harder and harder to get back to myself again. I am now doing amazing things with my workout routine as well as practices. I’m dedicated and won’t stop until I stop breathing. I will not give up on you I will show you that I am going to make a difference in your program. I am different than any other recruit by showing you I not only have the dedication to work hard and make changes. I have that mental ability and drive of never stopping.
