Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Ryan Larkin. I am a Junior at General Douglas MacArthur High School in Levittown, NY. I have been playing lacrosse for over ten years and started playing at the high school level when I was in 8th grade. I am looking to join a school that has a great atmosphere and a strong business program. One thing that is very important to me is finding a school whose lacrosse team works together like a family. I am the oldest of four kids which makes me a leader at home, and I bring that leadership to the field. I am respectful, hardworking and reliable. I've learned a lot from my father, who runs a football and lacrosse league in my town, about dedication, fairness and how to take criticism in order to grow. I have enjoyed coaching my little brother’s football and lacrosse teams over the past few years and watching the pure joy they have learning and being out on the field with their friends. After ten years of playing, I still feel this same excitement every time I step onto the field. I think I would be a great asset to any team given my experience on and off the field. You can ask anyone that knows me, and they will tell you that I am someone you want on your team.
