Personal Statement
My name is Cherokee Southerd. I am a Junior at Astoria High School. At the beginning of this school year I was injured in my Physical Education class. I sat out from the beginning of September and was released for my first practice on January 6th. It was a struggle all season to sit and watch my teammates, who are like family, play without me. I was able to finish out the season, but it took me majority of the season to get bask into shape like I was before. My team made it to the 1A Super-Sectional tournament this season and even though I didn't get the opportunity to help very much, I am proud of them. I am currently starting a work-out plan for the summer to get into better shape and pick things up my senior year season.
