2021 Highlights
2021 Spotlight Personal Statement
My goals are to get a scholarship and play softball for all four years in college. I am willing to work hard to get better. I like to be pushed by my coaches, so I can be the best athlete I can be. I have leadership skills and I always try to stay positive on the field when playing. Through junior high and now high school, my parents have taught me to be responsible and handle the extra work that comes with sports, such as taking care of uniforms, preparing my food, and managing my sports money. I am on the high honor roll and I get my school work done. I like to meet new people and I love being on a team with people who want to play softball. My dream is to become an Occupational Therapist and someday coach. I am super close with my sisters and family, we spend a lot of time together going boating, hiking, or playing sports in our driveway. So family is important to me and being on a team that feels like a family would be great!
