Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Andrew Dokken. Thank you for checking out my profile. I’m a sophomore at Justice High School (formerly known as J.E.B. Stuart HS). I’ve been playing lacrosse for four years. The longer I play the more I love the game. One of the people who has inspired me the most to follow what I love is my coach. He is the person who made me love lacrosse as much as I do now because of his caring nature for me and the game, he is committed to my entire team and works with everyone to get as good as they can be. He enforces and shows amazing work ethic that makes me want to perform to his level of expectations. But besides this my biggest pushes to do this is my mom and aunt. They both were diagnosed with cancer a few years back. Sadly, my aunt passed away recently which was extremely hard for me and my family. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone fight through their treatments as hard as them. What I do, I do for them. I am also from a long line of military individuals who served our country in battle, I am inspired by them to fight for what's right for the greater good of the group.
