My interest in this sport began at a young age. I grew up in a family where most of the women played field hockey, and this founded my love for the sport. My mom played all her youth through college and had me begin playing with her at a young age. Through field hockey I have seen what you can accomplish with hard work and dedication. I have learned the value of teamwork and commitment, two valuable lessons I plan to carry with me. I am a very motivated person and would like to attend a college that will challenge me both academically and athletically.
