Nolena Ard '13 Recruiting Profile

Dear Coaches,

My name is Nolena Ard.  Currently I am a senior at Long Reach High School in Columbia Maryland.  I have been playing ball since 7 years old.  During my time of playing, I have had the opportunity to play in the Little Leauge World Series on EMEA (Europe Middle East Africa).  I have also played on many other travel teams as the main catcher, but I consider myslef a utility player except pitcher.  I had a 3.2 GPA junior year, but at the time I was taking English AP (Advanced Placement), Chemistry GT (Gifted and Talented), Algerbra II, and US History GT.  Although that is not an excuse for my low GPA, which is why I am working hard to keep it up high for my senior year.

I have many goals for my future.  Right now, I want to find the perfect college for me, one that feels like it is the right one.  I wish to get a scholarship for softball, and play softball all four years with the college's team.  I will be going to college to study Psychology, getting a masters in this subject, and become a clinical psychologest for teens and younger.  Then having a minor in creative writing, a passion of mine, would complete my schoolong and I waould go on to help others with their mental disorders.
