Personal Statement
My name is Joe DelloStritto. I am a sophomore, and a baseball and basketball player. I am also a National Honor Society member, writer for the school paper, and the youngest of 3 siblings. Here are some statements about me that I'd like you to know:
*My parents have impressed upon me that school comes first…I have a 4.1 GPA.
*My older brother graduated from Syracuse University and works for the MLB Network, and my sister leaves for the University of Delaware in the fall. She tells me everyday how much I will miss her. She is right.
*I am lucky that my best friend, since the age of 4, lives across the street. I am unlucky that he is a soccer player and a Minnesota Twins fan!
*I have been blessed to be one of the best players on my athletic teams through the years, and because of that many friends have viewed me as a leader and someone to look up to. I have never "looked down" on anyone, and never will.
*I consider myself to be focused, hard working and driven. Ironically, I rarely take myself too seriously. I love a good story, being with my friends and writing of any kind. I plan to major in communications in college.
*I am a year-round athlete and I strive to be the very best I can be. I thrive under pressure, play for my team, and love to win. I also recognize the value of a good meal, and a long nap.
*My Mother often tells me I still have a lot to learn about life. My 89-year old Grandmother tells me "life is short cherish every moment," and so I plan to do both.
I know I would add value to the program I am lucky to be a part of as I enter college. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to share my skills video with you, which is attached to my profile.
Thank You!
