Baseball was introduced into my life at the age of 5, and the love and passion for the sport has only grown since then. Between now and then the game has continued to build my character in ways that no other experience could have. Through the game i learned how to be a leader of a team, both on and off the field.
Growing up smaller than the rest of the kids on the field drove me to be better than the rest, fueled my determination to prove myself to those around me and prove that size doesn't always matter. Keeping up with school was also a big deal for me which is why i strived for a 4.0 every semester starting in the second semester of 7th grade. Only falling short once with a 3.8. With that mindset i found within myself the core of integrity and the honest, passionate, sense of admiration for the game of baseball. I am confident that the work-ethic, leadership skills, and drive to be better in every possible aspect will allow me to be a valuable asset to your program.
