Personal Statement
My name is Hailey Pendleton and I am 16 years old and a Junior at Weddington High School in North Carolina. I have been playing golf for more then 8 years of my life and have been playing competitively for 6 years. In my high school career, I have been the number one player and the Team Captain of my team for the past 3 years! My freshman and sophomore year I have won All-Conference Player of the Year and my freshman year I won the 3A West Regional Championship with a score of 71 (-2). This past golf season (Junior Year), I had the opportunity to step up as a leader to my teammates who were beginners. I encouraged my teammates to set goals for themselves and gave them tips on how to achieve them. From the past three years of participating on a high school golf team, I have learned the values of teamwork, commitment, and leadership. These skills that I have developed has prepared me to succeed at being a student-athlete on the collegiate level. I aspire to continue to be a leader for my future golf team and I look forward to learning from my future teammates.
The type of college that I am looking for is one that offers a program that has a good balance with athletics and academics. I am very strong academically and I want to keep this throughout my college career. I aspire to major in Biology and find a career in the medical field. I believe that I not only have the ability to compete on a college team but also the character, commitment, and the leadership skills!
