2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Hello! My name is Meghan Pereira and I will be a 26' graduate from Joseph Case High School in Swansea, Massachusetts. As of this point in my career, I am a hitting RHP/ left field/ utility player on both my travel and high school teams. In my second year as a varsity player in High School, I spent most of my time in left field, and ended the year hitting with a .429 batting average. In my third year of playing with my South Shore Chaos ('26) team, we will be competing at the 16U level and will partake in several showcases. On this team, I hope to pitch most of the innings and really work on my spin pitches. If I am not actively in the game, I am either getting reps, or cheering on my teammates. No matter what team I am on, I go out of my way to boost morale and keep everyone in the game.
Here is a lot about me in a few lines: I am not sure what I want to study in college yet, but marine biology, kinesiology, and radiology are at the top of my list. I have situational sarcasm that shows up as I get comfortable. I am the type of person who goes out of her way to be an optimist and motivate everyone around her. I like to learn by doing things for myself. I am the type of player who needs to have conversations with her coach to better understand how they think and why they do certain things. I will always cheer on my teammates, even if they are starting instead of me. More than anything, I am a helper. It doesn't matter to me if you are a complete stranger who has nothing to offer me, or my best friend, I will help you with just about anything. I genuinely enjoy school and learning things that interest me. Sitting outside or walking around is wildly underrated. Lastly, I like to ramble (sorry), but thanks for sticking around to the end :)
