Personal Statement
I grew up on the east coast, more specifically northern Virginia, and I got introduced to the sport naturally from friends and family. I remember my mom got me my first lacrosse stick and I was immediately fascinated by the complexity of the sport and technique of throwing a ball. I started trying to use the stick as much as possible until I made my first lacrosse team in second grade and have not stopped playing since. From the sport of Lacrosse, I have learned a lot of things about myself and my work ethic. I learned that mastery of a specific subject is not from luck or predisposition but from hard work and years of practice. I learned that one set back, for instance not making the team you strived for, should not ruin the larger objective and take you off your path. Those are just a few of the things that I have learned from playing the sport I love.
I am equally as focused off the field as I am on the field. Since the start of High School, my main goal is not only to get the best grades possible but to try and learn interesting topics along the way. I am particularly interested in History as the past and learning new topics about our world has always fascinated me. My goal in college is to expand my knowledge of History while also pursuing a major in Biology, focusing on either Ecology or Zoology.
