I have always had a love for both basketball and baseball since I was 6 years old. I have been influenced by the higher level players around me, and wanting to get to their level has been an ongoing inspiration. Being on several sports teams has taught me to be patient and trust in the time I put into getting better. When I start to feel frustrated due to a hitting slump or lack of playing time, I stay focused on getting better, and the results have been positive. Along with hard work both on and off the court, I will to continue to bring my best efforts in the classroom. I aspire to get into a college program that will value academics and athletics.
