June 2013Personal Statement
I want to study to be a sports psychologist and venture into sociology. My dream has always been to play college softball. Ever since I was 7 years old I have been actively playing sports. I have narrowed my participation down to just softball because I have to go where my heart is and always has been! I LOVE this game! I also assistant coach my little sister's basketball and softball teams. I really enjoy the fact that I can take part in the growth and development of these talented young ladies as they start towards their own athletic futures. I am a determined individual who is driven to be the absolute very best I can be! I was raised to work hard and have faith for nothing is impossible! I also enjoy coaching and if presented with the opportunity, I would like to pursue that field as well. I firmly believe that the concept of teamwork and being a team player can be implemented in everything in life. My dream is to have the chance to go to college, study my fields of interest, and represent my school by being the best softball player I can be! Thank you! Marisa
