Personal Statement

Hi, I'm Samantha! I have played softball since I was 7 years old and I've been in love with the sport ever since. During my softball career I have played a variety of positions. This experience has led me to become a very versatile player. You can see me start a game in left field and end the same game playing 1st base.  I never get down on myself when I make a mistake; so I always look for the positive learning experiences when these situations occur. My goals are to graduate high school and get into college while still playing the sport I love.  Academically, I plan on majoring in Social Work.
