December 2016Personal Statement
I really enjoy putting in work to perform at a high level. My work ethic in the classroom and on the field is way above average. I have the ability to play as a switch handed pitcher, and outfielder. I would like to major in the Health field with a minor in Theology. I would like to play college level baseball with a team, that plays as a TEAM at a very competitive level ... All while glorifying my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Romans 12:2 - Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- His good, pleasing and perfect will.
