Personal Statement
I am one of the lucky ones. My entire life I have had multiple examples of what hard work and perseverance looks like. Between my mom and dad who both work in human/public services, my dad a police officer and my mom is the CEO of the local Boys & Girls Club, I have learned the importance of giving back, adaptability and acceptance of all people. I have a passion for science and biology and I would like to pursue a degree in Marine Biology or a related science.
I attend Westwood High School which is ranked 48th in the country out of the top 500 Academic High Schools. I chose to attend Westwood knowing how challenging it would be because I didn't want to be just another athlete in one of the other "easier" high schools in our district. Here I have had the opportunity to play-up since my Freshman year and to grow into a starter as a dual athlete in Baseball and I was named to the 1st Team All District in Region 13 6A this year in Football. I also play with the Evoshield Canes Southwest Select Team under Coach Gipps. The video attached to my profile is of my last game this past summer. I reached my top speed for the summer at 89 and consistently threw 87 mph, allowing 0 hits in 4 innings, pitching to only 13 batters. Our team won 2-1, and I singled on a 1-0 count to drive in the winning run. As much as I have improved in the 8 weeks of intense summer ball, my potential is unlimited as I go into my Junior and Senior years of high school and summer ball.
When it comes to college, I want to play ball and get a good education. I am open to the conversation of attending just about anywhere that I feel I can contribute to the program and where my personal and academic needs are met. So, if you like what you see in the video and you feel I can help your team build, grow, and win or continue to win, give me a call or come out to Austin and catch one of our games. I look forward to hearing from you and to possibly being part of your incoming Freshman class in 2020.
