Personal Statement

I started playing softball when I was nine years old and quickly realized I loved the game and couldn't wait to learn more. When Little League was over that first season I knew I wanted to keep playing, so I tried out and made my first travel softball team. My goal is to never stop learning the game and improving my skills. My coaches and teammates describe me as the hardest worker on the team. I would ultimately like to continue softball into college at the highest level.

Although softball is very important to me, I also pride myself in my academic accomplishments. I am a member of the National Junior Honor Society and have been on the High Honor Roll every year.

My goal is to find a college where I can thrive both academically as well as athletically and am open to all options to find the best fit possible.
