February 2015Personal Statement
I am currently a junior entering my 3rd year of varsity high school golf. I have been playing golf since I was about 3 years old. While I made varsity my freshman year, my passion of competitive golf took off during my sophomore year. Since then I have dedicated myself to achieving my goal to play collegiate golf. Up until my freshman year I played travel baseball and was on a very successful team but I made the choice to quit a sport I loved to play a sport I love even more. In addition to golf I play hockey. I have earned 2 varsity letters and played on AA travel team my freshman year.
My dedication on the golf course also carries over to the classroom. I realize that academics are just as, if not even more, important than my athletic ability. I want to major in business and plan to go to a school that offers that field of study. I always give 100% effort to improve and to become the best I can be in golf. My scoring average has improved 10 strokes from my freshman year to my sophomore summer. I know I am far from my peak.
I am excited for what to future holds for me. I am confident it will consist of collegiate golf in a school that be right for me both academically and athletically.
