I live my life by a personal motto, 'hard work beats talent'. On and off the field I strive to reach goals set for me as well as my own. My defining goal is to play lacrosse at the collage level as well as excel in the class room. In the academic studies I show a lust for learning that goes back to my dreams of being an engineer. To me, advanced classes are opportunities. I welcome adversity and challenge others. From the first time i picked up a lacrosse stick I knew that I never want to stop playing the game. The next level is the goal that I am determined to reach. Hard work beats talent and passion is the love of hard work so, passion beats talent. Lacrosse is my passion and my commitment is the team.
