Personal Statement
I would like to first and foremost be able to be accepted to play collegiate softball and by the end of my career know that I played and worked to the best of my ability. I have played the sport sense I was 6 years old and am hoping to continue my softball career in whichever way is possible after high school. I can play everywhere except a catcher. Pitching is not my main position but I have played it in high school so we had a pitcher on our team and I have done some time in travel ball. My favorite position is centerfield because I can give the best help to the team in the outfield and how I play my position. I as a teammate am willing to do what helps the team and make it easier to have success. Overall I am willing to learn and have an open mindset in all academics and athletics. I would like to go to college to be a pediatric occupational therapist to mainly help younger kids meat there mile stones and just there needs as there growing.
