Nick Raso, Damont...Personal Statement
Hello, I'm Nicholas Raso and I am YOUR next Student Athlete! I've been playing baseball since I was 4 years old and have always loved the game! Baseball has afforded me many wonderful life experiences. I've had the opportunity to travel across the country and even Japan. It has allowed me to learn, not only more about the game, but about different people and cultures along the way. These experiences have shaped me into a hardworking and humble person on and off the field.
I work hard academically and as an athlete. I strive to give 110% effort into everything I do. I have been taught the value of hard work since I was very young and believe that even though I may not always be the most talented, I can always be the most dedicated and hardest working. My favorite motto is, "Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard". I am truly committed!
I maintain a 3.73-4.0 GPA and I'm excited to attend a college where I can continue to grow, both as an athlete and a student. I am looking for the team and college/university that will allow me to pursue my goals and help me reach my full potential. I look forward to a very bright future!
