Samantha Meehl '23 Recruiting Profile

As I prepare for my future, I look back at far I have come in my lifetime.  Starting at an early age I have had to overcome a visual processing disorder that impacted everything in my life.  It took hours out my day to learn to visually track and balance.   I did not let my disability impact what activities I wanted to do or how well I did in  that I activity.  I learned that no matter what I did I had to give it my all.  Because of my struggles I listened to every tip a coach or teammate provided me to improve.  I became that team member that would encourage everyone no matter of their ability because one never knows what that person is going through.  I am quiet person that sits back, observes, processes how I need to overcome a challenge then hit it head on.  I do not give up on myself or anybody.  I have taken this passion and want to continue to grow in college and beyond.  I want to continue my passion of playing in sports at some level that I have grown to love and eventually become a 4-H extension agent to share by desire to help everyone see the positive in them no matter who they are.
