Julia Petrie '18 Recruiting Profile

My college goal would be to graduate with a bachelors degree in order to obtain a good career for myself. I feel that I am a very level headed person, that understands the time to work and the time for play. I have a good sense of what I want to accomplish after I am finished college so I can become an independent women, with the desire to keep softball a part of my life. What makes me different from other recruits is that I have a strong desire to compete and play well. I am a very competitive player, that strives to do my best on and off the field. I believe that success is earned and not given. My family has a motto, "Good sportsmanship today, better citizen tomorrow." I am a practicing Christian, and I would not be opposed to attending a religious college. I want to choose a school that will not only advance my softball skills, but me as a person. When I am finished with my schooling I would like to be able to look back and say that I never passed up an opportunity on or off the field. I bring many things with me in my life. Family being a huge one. I have quite a large family, and we were all raised to be strong and independent. My family is very important to me, and I would want nothing else than for them to be apart of my college life. In school, I excel best in subjects that sometimes I don't even realize that I am interested in. I try my best in all subjects and do fairly well. The knack for understanding some subjects comes quite easily, yet others take work.
