Jake Ward '22 Recruiting Profile

My mission is to become the best person and student athlete I can possibly be! My end goal is to earn the status of a graphic designer or achieve my MD in Dentistry. These career paths I see not as an occupation but as a passion and as a way of life. We all see the world differently,but I see my world of talent and imagination where anything is truly possible!

My talent is my responsibility. I had nothing to do with acquiring the talent I was born with, but I feel what I do with my talent is my responsibility and it falls within my own hands, heart, and desire. It is up to me to achieve everything I can possibly achieve. I not only want to make myself a better student-athlete, but I want to make my teammates better student-athletes as well.

As I begin to near the end of my high school career I begin to focus on the next chapter of my life.I believe we must enjoy each day and be as productive as we possibly can but at the same time prepare for the future. This gives me the knowledge, focus, and ability to set both short term and long term goals.

I look forward to the upcoming year both academically and athletically. We will face many new and adverse challenges along the way. What captivates me the most is the daily discipline needed to be the best student in the classroom and on the Football / Lacrosse field or the track as well. I know there will be many times that I will need to be uncomfortable but I will always keep in mind that in order to be comfortable I must first be uncomfortable.
