Melissa Smith Sof...Personal Statement
My friends, family, softball, and academics are some of the most important things in my life. I am a very competitive person and I am always striving to better myself and my teammates. My top priority is to find a school that has an even balance between academics and sports. I am interested in majoring in marketing with hopes to attend law school after graduation.
