M .Leah Stokes '22 Recruiting Profile

I started playing softball when I was 6 years old or atleast old enough to play little league and hit off the tee. Ever since then I knew I would play softball the rest of my school career. I play 2nd and outfield for my highschool and 18u travelball team. Im not the strongest hitter but a good bunter. Leadership to me means to take on a leading or important role in something. Being a leader can get stressful but being a good leader result in something to turn out for the good. One of my favorite academic award I received was the sliver cup award or The Jefferson Cup. I received it for being the most improved girl in my 8th grade year. One if the main reasons I want to go to school other than to play softball is that I want to be a vet. I have always enjoyed being around animals and I’ve always felt the need to help sick or injured animals. Some more extra things I do is play basketball. I’ve played basketball since 4th grade and have done many other after school activities. The reason I did other after school activities is to help me manage my time.
