Benja León Slow M...4 Iron Swing- You...2022 SpotlightMarch 2022Aguilar Golf Acad...Personal Statement
I've been golfing since I was 4 years old. My dad is a professional golfer who studied and played golf in University of Nevada Las Vegas, being coach Knight´s first international recruit, so I want to follow his steps and play for a University's golf team.
I am a golfer who has a great work ethic. In general, I am the one who practices the most and I've been honored two times in my golf academy as the hardest worker between all the students. I am a very intelligent golfer and thanks to this I had incredible results in my highschool career, being selected to Chile's golf team in "Sudamericano Prejuvenil 2019", becoming 2nd out of 10 other countries team's. I've won multiple local events and opens in my category and I have been honored as the ranking winner of the season two times.
In classroom, I am a great student with a 3.8 GPA out of 4. I've been always one of the best students winning multiple honors between my classmates. Right now I am very interested in Business. I would love to study something about economy because that's what really interests me. I'm finishing school in November 2022 (Chile's calendar).
I want to attend a college where I can improve my golf level, becoming a great golfer and also a great student. I am very sure I can be a great teammate and I hope to be useful for the team and reach our goals.
