Personal Statement

My name is Nicholas Font and I have been playing baseball since I was 3 years old. On the baseball field and in the classroom I work hard to excel. Baseball is a sport that I love and will keep on loving forever. Baseball to me is what makes me unique, once I step on the diamond everything going on around me goes away and its just me and the game. My goal in baseball is to make it as far as I could possibly go, making it to the pro level. When I step in the classroom and on the diamond I am a leader, hard worker and most definitely a team player. What makes me so unique over anyone else is that I am willing to do anything to get better and learn from others.
