The ideal collegiate experience for me would be to earn a degree from a competitive school and play lacrosse as well. With a GPA in the mid-threes on a 4.0 scale, I am confident I would be able to thrive as a student athlete, especially within the structure of a successful lacrosse program.
I see so many people in my high school who are one dimensional, in general. However, in my case, I am proud to be universally serious; about my studies, as well as lacrosse. I think I exemplify that type of balance on the field also, uniquely, since I had almost as many goals as assists in the past season (32G, 36A, 68 points in 10 games).
My commitment and approach to teamwork resulted in me being voted both team captain and MVP during our championship season. This is a humbling testament to the apparent admiration I have from both coaches and teammates.
For those interested, I have a you tube channel that can provide more color on the type of person and player I am now.

I sincerely hope to be offered an opportunity to improve myself, both on and off the field, as well as positively influence the community of a competitive institution of higher learning. Thanks for reading!
