Julia Ann Maiden '21 Recruiting Profile

My personal collegiate goals and aspirations stems from me wanting to be the best I can ever be in life. I want to accomplish goals in life that no one would believe that I could reach or go above those goals. My goals are to become the number one Cardio Thoracic Woman Surgeon in the world, also to be athletic. My softball experience has driven me to believe that it is my second universe. Whether I am behind the plate, or in the dug out waiting to bat, It is my escape. I drive myself and challenge myself on a daily basis to become better. When failure approaches my life, I decide to get back up and try again and again until I accomplish whatever is needed or wanted of me. All coaches are looking for difference in players, but at the same time they're looking for similarities. I bring a lot of different qualities with me, whether it is my life challenges all the way down to my favorite color. My differences within the way I play are how hard I work. It may seem like I am not working hard as others, however, in the end I will prove myself worthy of the hard work that I have done. Academics has always been huge in my life. I go crazy when I miss at least two days of school, because I do not like being behind, if anything I like to be ahead. I was raised to do what I want in life as long as it benefits me. I acknowledge that with my academics, I have to do great to be able to reach my goals with life. I will continue to challenge myself in everything that comes my way with hard work, dedication, and respectfulness.
