Personal Statement

I am Morgan Sohosky and I am a student at Bloomsburg High school in Bloomsburg, PA. My current GHIN handicap index is 5. My dad is a PGA professional and has been teaching me since I have been able to hold a golf club. I started competing when I was 5 and I have been winning multiple tournaments yearly since I was 5. I won my high school district championship as a freshman, sophomore and junior. I qualified for the State Championship as a freshman, sophomore, and junior playing as the #2 seed as a freshman and #1 seed as a sophomore, junior and senior on a boys team. I also won the PIAA East Regional championship as a junior.

On another note, I have been working very hard at my academics as well, maintaining above a 98 average. My goal is to enter aeronautical engineering for my undergraduate degree. However, for the remainder of high school I look forward to being inducted into the National Honor Society and also doing lots to help the community like community service and helping with programs we have for younger students in elementary & middle school in the summertime.
