Personal Statement

  

      I am honest and give 100% effort in all that I do and have been fortunate enough  to maintain a 4.0 GPA. My coaches have always told me that that I am very coachable and that I am a good team player who catches on quickly to what I am taught, I also play hard while showing great sportsmanship.  I have attended our church Awana program every Wednesday of the school year for the past 6 years and I am on track to graduate from the Awana program the same time as I will graduate high school.  I enjoy going on local mission trips with our church youth group.
