Personal Statement

I have been playing baseball since I was seven years old. I played little league and on several travel ball teams. I love being active and challenging myself. During the season and the off season I am playing ball, running, working out and doing activities to make me a better player so that I can be competitive on my school team and my travel ball teams. I have had several life events that I believe have made me the person that I am which is a person that cares about others and not just myself. I enjoy not only baseball for the game which I love but also for the friendships you develop. I hope to play baseball in college while I am receiving a college education.
