Isabella wang '22 Recruiting Profile

My lacrosse team has never won a tournament. There have been a lot of runs for first place but we have always come away with second. However, this has taught me a valuable lesson. It is one thing to always win, but it is another to know what it is like to lose. Learning to lose, understanding it, but working hard anyway. Even though my lacrosse team may not win every time, I have learned to have a good attitude even when things don’t go my way, and to give it my all until the last whistle of the game blows, regardless of what the scoreboard is. 

Lacrosse has also taught me that you have to work hard to achieve the results you want. I was late to starting lacrosse. The first time I ever held a stick was in fifth grade, and I was really behind everyone else, who had gotten their starts in lacrosse much earlier. It took a lot of practicing for me to even be able to catch the ball as easily as the other girls. But after a lot of practicing in fifth grade, I was good enough to try out and be on a club team in sixth grade. Not only am I looking for an athletic fit in a school, but an academic fit as well. I like to be challenged and will face them head on.
