Adriana Peaslee '20 Recruiting Profile

•    At what might be considered the "later age" of 9 years old, I started in kid pitch with a strong team and grew quickly into a strong player. I immediately grew to be very fond of my newfound sport and I worked long hours day in and day out to become the player I am today whether it be before or after school, extended hours after practice, or lessons on my own. While playing softball I've grown to be a leader, learned how to be cooperative with all kinds of people, grown as an individual, and as a team player. In any sport, you learn a sense of responsibility, going through long hours staying awake to work on academics, juggling around sports, other extra-curricular activities, and home life, and as a softball player, I think that's one of the best things; finding balance within the chaos to find how to maintain a steady flow of activities. I've grown as a person to be strong and reliable to complete tasks given to me. I set high goals to push me, goals that I know I need to work for to get to. My dedication, work-ethic, and passion drives me to be the player I am today. I vocalize well, hustle, and push my teammates to be the best they can be. 

   Academically, I want to be challenged. I want to go beyond what I knew was possible and strive to be the best that I can be to get me to where I want to be in life. I want to keep my high GPA, even possibly raise it higher and I aim to have high SAT and ACT scores as well. I take pre-AP and AP classes to challenge myself in the classroom. For college, I want to be able to get into an academically strong school so that way even after I cannot continue my softball passion, I can have my academics backing me. I would like to receive a diploma that is meaningful in the way that it will pave a path for my life to follow after college.
