Miranda Lawson '18 Recruiting Profile

My name is Miranda Nicole Lawson and I live in Aldie, VA.  I am a Junior at John Champe High School.  I am extremely interested in playing softball at the collegiate level and I would like to introduce myself to you.

My softball name is Mimi and I love the sport!! I have learned so much about myself through my highs and lows of softball.  I have played short stop for the past two years but I play outfield and 3rd.  I am a true utility and I am willing to play wherever needed. I am a good student, I have always been an honor student, I love to read and I enjoy learning.  Spanish, history and science are my favorite subjects, although I am not sure yet of my major in college, I know science, history and Spanish are part of my path.  

I love animals and some of my favorite shows are Animal Planet, Gator Boys and anything on National Geographic.  I volunteer in the summer working with horses, I clean stalls, feed them, wash them, ride them and ensure they are healthy.  I also love to sing;  I sing for my school and I sing at home all the time.  Lastly, I am a CAR (Child of the American Revolution) and I am historically so proud!  I come from a long line of over achievers and great things are part of my DNA!  My patriot is Prince Duplex.

I think I would feel lost without softball; if I can play while being academically challenged in college, I will live my dream.  I love to be pushed hard and I love to compete.  I am really strong, I am fast and I play multiple positions.  I am very easy to get along with, I have a good sense of humor, and take direction well. I made team captain this year and I love the responsibility. 

I am on my way and I love this journey.  I know I can bring a great work ethic, strong leadership and 150% to any team I play with.  I know I want a good education, although my major is undeclared, the right school is very important to me.  I think a medium size school is more a fit for me but I am open to a larger or smaller community.  I have visited both east and west coast schools but I will admit, I enjoy cooler climates.
