My love for softball has grown tremendously since I began playing 7 years ago. I never knew a sport could drive me to work so hard and ultimately become a leader. Softball has not only brought these characteristics upon me on the field, but also in the classroom. My work ethic has always been what my teachers and coaches have loved about me. I have always wanted to go off to college and adding competitive softball to school sounds almost too good to be true. My goal is to get into a competitive academic school where I can further my education and continue my softball career.
