Personal Statement

I am currently a senior and play varsity golf for Midway High School in Waco, Texas. I love the game of golf and practice every chance I get with my teammates as well as outside of school. As a mostly all A student, I have successfully learned to balance academics, golf and marching band for the last 3 years. I am also in a dual credit history class this year and work part time at Cottonwood Creek Golf Course. It would be a dream come true to play golf at the college level while earning a degree. I am driven, hard working and always practicing to improve every aspect of my golf game. I even enjoy working out to improve my strength and flexibility. You would be hard pressed to find a more determined, honest, and reliable teammate to represent your school.
