Personal Statement
Hi! My name is Grace Shadid (2022) and I am a dual-sport athlete; soccer and lacrosse. I also have previous experience in track and field. I aspire to commit to a college with a strong academic environment that I can study pre-med, or pre-optometry in, as well as a school with a strong lacrosse program so I can continue playing the sport I love! Lacrosse has never been like a chore to me, it is a passion that will never leave. I have been playing lacrosse for four years. I’ve made a family with so many teammates and my coaches and it’s something that makes the sport so impactful. My main position is attack, but I can also play midfield. I am right hand dominant but can use both! I always push myself to be stronger and to improve my skills not just because I need to, but because I want to. I’ve always been told I am a coachable athlete in whatever sport I play. I love to do whatever I can to improve both as an athlete, and a student. I am currently enrolled in several AP classes and hold a 3.96 GPA (weighted) 3.35 (non-weighted). Both of these GPA scores have been steadily climbing this year and I am focused and dedicated working to improve those grades more in the next few months.
