By choice her carries a very heavy workload and does it well.

There is still so much I would like to learn. My hope is that college will be a place a place where my horizon can expand. My hope is that the wisdom gained in school can be used to do good in this world. Although it is not certain what my major will be, it is clear that my path will unfold in time and that many diverse layers of college experiences will help me lead a wonderful life of prosperity.

My dream college must be a place where I can be happy, as there is nothing more important to seek in life. It must be a place where I will be supported to physically, mentally, spiritually and intellectually grow into a powerhouse being challenged to be my best is essential. It is my dream to always give and have opportunities to grow, to always work at being a better person. 

The concept of family, team and school is very important as it speaks to the importance of forming meaningful connections and a sense of belonging. Growing up on an Indian reservation, in a family of nine, attending an all boys school and being part of sports teams, there has always been a strong sense of  team work and community in my life. Our strengths seem to have always come from our unity. College must be my home for four years. Being part of a strong and diverse school community where together we will possess great strength to do great good, sounds wonderful to me. 

HOCKEY

Hockey is so awesome. It is a huge part of me, as is lacrosse. They are both my passion, essential to my life. Through my two complimentary sports; coaches, trainers, team mates and family have taught me so much about life. 

Grit is what has gotten me this far, hard work and the pure will to succeed has far outweighed any talent I may have started with.

My play is very intense, competitive and aggressive. There is a complete investment from me on all levels from unifying and leading my team mates, listening and learning from coaches, doing my best in practices and of course going all out in game situations.  I am always 100% invested my sports and am always reflecting on how to be better. Even sleep and food have become important to ensure my greatest possible performance.

A tenacious defenseman who glides from stay at home to offense. Coaches switch me from playing defense to center as required. My skill level on the ice is high and my job is always done well. 

When I step on the ice, everyone knows it. My team watch to see what I will do and the opponents stay aware of my positioning and keep alert with their heads up. 

My checks are clean and complete and my play is always smart and consistent, you can always count on me. Clear the zone, shoot from the blue line stay in the opponents face or be it breaking into the offensive zone to score, i'm always on. My specialty is penalty kill, nobody gets in on me and even my power play is rock solid. 

Before a game and in a scrum my cheers are the loudest to energize my team and when we are down, no one will battle harder than me until the final buzzer sounds. My teams love me for good reason, I am there for them.

We have just started this college recruiting process and already it has opened a new door to so many dreams of what could be in life, sports and in school, it is very exciting. The prospect of finding an amazing college, a new home to share my gifts and grow to my full potential sounds like a dream come true.
