Marcelo Garza '20 Recruiting Profile

July 2018 Personal Statement
My primary goal is to play collegiate golf at a Division I school as close as it can be from my home, but I am open to every opportunity and suggestion. As for academics, I will want to complete the career I would choose. So, my dream for college is to play at the Division I level in a college that has the career I will be picking, for the four years. But as I said, I am open to every opportunity. In my opinion, I am a good candidate for every school because I am a calm person who cares about others and helps them too. I like to help people, and talk to them too, and also, I think I a am very talented golfer who likes to work and listens to every advice they give me. I think the difference from other prospects or kids than me is that I don’t have as much as an opportunity to get colleges to watch me because I am an International recruit, and I don’t have as many resources as I will like to have. But I love what I have, and I wouldn't change anything. In academics, I am a kid who worries a lot about his grades, and his homework, even though I spend a great amount of time in the golf course. I think I am a great candidate for every school, and I will work hard to reach my goals and aspirations.
