Personal Statement
My name is Jaleah Lee and I will be attending Des Moines Roosevelt High School in the Fall 2022. I started my softball career in the 1st grade and struggled to learn basic mechanics including batting and pitching. I loved playing softball so much that we asked for lessons to get better and to be able to compete with others. I started weekly lessons to gain accuracy, strength and control not only for pitching but for batting. Softball has taught me how to overcome adversity in several different aspects of my game as a pitcher and continues to help build my mental toughness. With that, my goal is to continue playing the game I love at the collegiate level.
Off the field, as an 8th grader, I take high school courses with advanced courses. I have maintained a 4.0 grade point average. I believe that I’m a student-athlete and take pride in both titles.
