Personal Statement

I believe that I would make a great candidate for a college team because of my determination.  I am persistent and work towards achieving goals inside and outside the classroom.  This is evident from the courses I took my freshman year as well as this year.  The one thing I have learned through playing softball is do not take anything for granted.  I was slated to be the varsity starting pitcher as a freshman, but it all fell apart with the shutdown.   This did not change my approach at practice, but it gave me a better perspective of the here and now.   I now have the approach to play each and every game as if it were my last.

I am also coachable.   I do not cause drama or issues during practice or games.   When I show up for a practice or a game, it is all business.  I am there to do a job.  I keep my head down and keep plugging away at doing what is needed to help my team win a game.   I stay focused on things that I have the power to change and move forward.  Each practice I pick something that I want to do better than I did the practice before, and so far, that has worked.
