2013 Highlights
January 2015Personal Statement
One of my biggest dreams is to continue playing softball in college. I want to be part of a team that is well rounded and plays as a team not a bunch of individuals. I want to play for a coach who is willing to bring the best out of me as a player and a person. My goal is to do my best in both softball and my studies. I'm not sure just yet what i want to do with my life but have time to figure that out. I am leaning toward majoring in Elementary Education and minor in Special Education and would love to have a chance to be a softball coach to pass on what I have learned and loved about the sport to the younger girls wanting to play softball.
