Personal Statement
My passion for softball is greater than that of any other activity I have tried. My softball career started in elementary school by the push of my dad. Now I adore the opportunity to throw on some cleats and roll around in the dirt for hours on end. Today, my dedication to the sport is fueled by my coaches, peers, teammates, parents, and myself as I put in the work to get to the best level of success everyday. This means I really focus on grasping all that I can from the perspectives and philosophies of my coaches, the values of the bonds with my teammates, the lessons taught from every play, and the mindset controlled after every lose or win.
My grades are my number one priority as they set up my future for triumph. You can observe this mind set in any report card or test score of mine, as I attempt to never slack in the most remote effort towards the area of academics. Every strikeout, home run, and David's sunflower seed spit has led to the development of my softball environment and every mistake and achievement made was absolutely necessary for me to be the person I am today.

- AwardsI made my high school's varsity softball team as the only freshmen. I kept a consistent 4.0 + GPA with two honors courses and participating in two varsity sports: softball and marching band, all while taking on my first high school semester. My freshmen softball season, I earned the two All Conference awards: the Academic Award and the Sportsmanship Award. I then preformed with my school's, freshmen basketball team in the winter. I was originally set to preform at the junior varsity level on my high school's track team for pole vaulting last spring season. My most recent high school softball season just ended leaving me with the second most amount of triples in the St Louis area, that being 7.
- ActivitiesI participate in my high school's elite performance marching band. I have participated on the drum line for both of my high school seasons, and have made it to the finals in regional competitions as well as win local competitions. One of which, we earned the best percussion award. I was in my middle school's percussion section in band, in which I participated in the high level Metro 8 All District Band and earned 3rd chair for my section. I also was involved with the jazz band at my middle school for two years, playing bass guitar.
