Personal Statement
I am a 5’10” rising senior from Philadelphia, PA. I have been a starting varsity lacrosse and ice hockey player since freshman year. My strengths are speed, agility and knowledge of the game. I am an unselfish playmaker who looks to distribute the ball in order to make the team better. Winning is my priority, personal statistics and accomplishments are trivial to me. I was raised with a solid faith-based, strong work ethic. Every summer I work at a camp for kids with special needs (Special People in the Northeast, Inc.) Giving back to the community is a big part of who I am. My high school sets a very high academic standard so I am a strong student and a good time manager. I am looking for a university where I can find the right balance between the classroom and the field. Ideally, my athletic environment would be one where I can make a contribution fairly early in my career. Financial assistance is going to be very important as my family has high need. Lacrosse is essential, but the quality of education that I receive is a higher priority.
