Donovan Cleffi '19 Recruiting Profile

    Having a learning disability isn't all bad even though it makes for a tough time.  My name is Donovan Cleffi and I was diagnosed with one in the 4th grade.  Ever since, I have worked extremely hard to compensate for it.  I know that I need more time to learn things than the average student and apply myself 150 percent in the classroom and on the field to do so.  Having a learning disability has taught me how to advocate for myself and has made me a hard worker.  I have earned Honor Roll every semester in high school and was appointed the position of JV lacrosse captain this year.  These milestones demonstrate how my hard work has paid off.

    I love the game of lacrosse and everything about it and look forward to playing in college.  Last year I committed myself to becoming a better athlete with the goal of playing college lacrosse in mind.  I restructured my diet, improved my foot skills, worked hard and became one of the fastest players on the team.

    I am excited to find the right college fit for me; academically, athletically and socially and anticipate further personal growth.
