Personal Statement
I have been golfing since I was a small child since my dad is a golf professional. I began playing competitively at the age of seven. After winning my first tournament, I aspired to play at the college level. While visiting my family member's colleges for various sporting events, this dream of playing at the collegiate level really began to grow.
I have a strong sense of commitment, practice ethics, and time management skills. As an athlete having played golf, basketball, and soccer, I've been encouraging members to do their best and allowing them to push me. In the classroom, I've maintained my GPA while taking rigorous classes. I have always taken my commitment to my teams and academics seriously. Having attended a private school for the past 6 years, I have decided to go attend my local public school to become a part of a larger program and compete in a higher regional play.
If I have the opportunity to play golf in college, it will provide me the ability to pursue my degree and play the sport I love. I am open to all schools at this point, as I ultimately find the right college environment for me with the highest level of competition where I can also earn a degree.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
