I am from a small copper mining town in Arizona with a population of about 1,700 people. No woman from my town has ever played a collegiate sport higher than at the Junior Collage level. I would like to be the first to do so, and make my town proud. Growing up in a blue collar town we are taught to work hard for everything, weather that is in sports, school, a job or anything in life. I believe that I can bring my hard working mentality onto any team and make a positive impact. I have a 4.0 gpa which takes a lot of hard work in and out of the classroom. I believe that academics are very important, and always come before athletics , you cannot have a student athlete without putting student first.
