Personal Statement
I have always been much younger than many people in my class and on the field. Because of this I have had to battle and work harder to earn my teammates respect and to be able to compete with them. My determination has paid off in my last few seasons, as my teammates recognize me as a leader on the team. Baseball has taught me how to lead by example and how to express my emotions and communicate effectively. Maintaining my emotions has helped me in the classroom, balancing homework and baseball. Academics are always my No. 1 priority, I have always had above average grades and I work hard to maintain them.
