- 2021 Spotlight
Personal Statement
Hello Coaches, my name is Sharif Amir Wilkinson and I'm going to be a junior at Kearny High School and graduate in 2022. After I graduate I'm looking to further my baseball career and education at a well-round university. I have been playing this beloved game since I was 5 years old and I've always given everything to this game. In return, this game has given me many opportunities and qualities that I can also use in the game of life. Since playing baseball at a higher level has always been my dream, I would love to show these qualities that I have acquired at the next level.
I have always been challenged with my height, but that's always given me the determination to work harder than everyone else. That determination has always grown and will keep growing. The amount of determination that I have on the baseball field also contributes to the classroom. In the classroom I always participate, always paying attention during difficult lessons, and always showing consistent effort.
Regardless of whether it is studying for a test, heading off to the gym, taking batting practice, or chipping away at things that I need to refine, I go the extra mile. I am the person who appears at practice early and leaves late for additional work. I need to be extra prepared as I can be in my scholastics and baseball. Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
