Even before I started school, I learned how to play baseball. Throughout the years i have participated in a variety of sports. I made a lot of sacrifices to stay dedicated to baseball. I started playing premiere baseball at the age of 9, AA Select at 12, then AAA at 14. I played both Fall and Summer leagues and in the off-season, I was taking lessons or at the batting cages. Through all of this, I have learned that baseball is very important to me. This is why i know I have the dedication it will take to be a successful college athlete. I have not decided on any degree plan, but I have had several ideas to what I want to do in life. I know I must graduate from high school, get a college degree, and be a good citizen in my community. One step at a time, I will get there.
