Blake Morrow- Hig...
2016 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My goal is to attend a top academic school that also pushes me to succeed in soccer. My plan is to major in Journalism/Communications, History, or Criminology/Criminal Justice with a minor in Spanish. I've played the majority of my soccer years in the position of Defensive Mid, so I am very vocal on the field and many of my teammates look to me for leadership. As far as academics go, I take my schooling very seriously. It is important to me to attend a good academic school in order to reach full potential for life after college. I am the eldest of four children, so I understand teamwork, responsibility, and being a leader/role model. My hard work is eminent through my grades, success as an underclassman on a talented high school team, serving as a Co-Captain of my club team, and my involvement with the regional team for Region II ODP.
