2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I have always been a self propelled learner and achiever, both in the classroom, and out on the course. While working hard at practice to be a leader for my team, I have always excelled in the classroom throughout many honors, accelerated, AP, and dual credit courses. My academics definitely puts me ahead of my peers along with the hard work and dedication it all entails. I started as a JV golfer my 7th and 8th grade year, and have competed for our varsity team since I was a freshman. I've always looked up to those who play college golf and taken every opportunity to learn more about what it takes to get there. You'll often find me spending my free time tuning up my game for what's to come and working towards who I want to be. I've worked extremely hard to keep up with my academics; as well as making a name for myself, so I aspire to let my work show on the big stage that college presents. I hope to be a recognizable college golfer, a strong academic scholar, and the honorable student I strive to achieve.
