Personal Statement
Growing up in a small town has really pushed me to be a better person. I knew that sports and academics would be my only way out of here. So I have been striving ever since I could remember to be great both athletically and academically. Every summer and every break I would go out and do sprints or beat a tire with a sledge hammer. I have used what has been provided to me to better myself. I found this old tractor tire down by my local train yard and so I rolled it all the way to my house and ever since then it has been put to good use whether it was beating it, flipping it or dragging it, it has been used well.
All through elementary and high school I have only missed one day of school due to being sick and through elementary school and most classes in high school, I have not fallen below an "A' grade wise. My biggest obstacle has definitely been growing up in this little towns with a school of only 500 or so. It has been very hard to get noticed because we are in the middle of nowhere and most colleges never think to look here. However I will not give up on my dream to play high level college ball whether it is football or baseball or just getting a good education, I will never give up.
