I plan to continue my education after high school, pursuing a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice or Homeland Security. While in school, it is also my hope to continue with my passion - playing baseball. I've been playing since kindergarten and baseball is a big part of my life. Not only am I dedicated to being the best student I can be, but I'm also striving to be a great teammate and player. In addition to team practices, I will work out and do drills on my own during and off season. I love the challenge of learning a new pitch or trying to win against a top ranked team. My high school coaches have really instilled in me the values of being a team member - to encourage and support my teammates and not let personal disappointments get in the way of our efforts. I know I still have hard work ahead in becoming a better player, in perfecting my game. It's hard work I look forward to. I'd be incredibly grateful to be able to continue my love and dedication to the game, while pursuing my higher education and career goals.
