May 2018Personal Statement
I am a 5’5, 140 lb shortstop from Bethel, CT and will graduate in the class of 2021. As a sophomore, I am the starting shortstop for Saint Joseph High School Varsity softball team. I have maintained a 3.8 GPA throughout my Freshman and Sophomore years while taking honors courses.
I am looking for a school that has both a high academic reputation that will challenge me in the classroom, and a very competitive softball program that will challenge me on the athletic field. Ideally I want to be at a place where I can make an immediate impact on the team, play with other top players, and where I can develop into an even better player and person.
I am not afraid of competition and will always give my best effort to grow and produce as a player. I will also take care of my responsibilities in the classroom and be a great representative of the University and the term “student-athlete”.
