I've grown up in a rural community where our neighbors are miles away on a farm. Therefore, I have been put to work and I am a very hard-working person. I have grown up around softball and ever since my first glove I have loved it and have had the undying desire to always be playing. I do try to practice as much as I can with my tricky and very tight schedule but my family has always found ways to make time for softball, even when we least expect it. I like to think of myself as a very determined person, with a very unique personality, and I am proud of my many awards I have received for my academic and athletic excellence. I am looking to continue to grow as a person and as an athlete and to continue my academic career with encouragement and guidance from an experienced coach and softball program.
