Patience and perseverance have given me a strong will. I have grown as a young man and baseball player because of this learning process. What I mean by this statement is that I know I am not the best there is now, but I will be in the future. There were times I know I was a better athlete than some players who had more playing time. I even explained helpful hints to those same players to make them better. Plus, even when I am on the bench my teammates ask me for my opinion and help. But, when given the chance I have been able to show that my team can count on me to come in and get the job done. Me as a student, I have to work hard on my grades, partly attributed to a hearing problem. But, I do give my best. I will graduate at the age of 17 in May of 2011. My height right now is 5'11 and my weight is 185. Majors that I am interested in college are Welding, Engineering, Criminal Justice (game warden) and Agriculture Management Teaching (Coach). I would like to attend any college that offers these majors of study and an Athletic Program. I am now currently beginning my second year a Ranger College. I look forward to a successful fall and spring season baseball. I completed my welding certification and currently have 31 hours. Hoping to complete my associate degree in may. 8/19/12
