Jacklynn Barnett '24 Recruiting Profile

With everything I have done in life, softball has always been something I could go to for comfort. It is an influence that has been with me since I was eight years old; softball has shaped me into the person I am today. It has taught me dedication, hard work, responsibility, teamwork, solution-solving, and much more life lesson that are valuable. The type of college I am looking for is someone who will help me achieve my goal, help me achieve my education, and strive to help me with the field I want to go into. I am trying to pursue criminology and criminal law/protective services. My goal going into this field is to be able to help others, be hands-on, and help keep everything in line. It does not matter where the college is I am willing to travel anywhere; I would prefer a school that would help optimize my skills and goals to play on the softball field for their school, and not have to wait until I am nearly graduated to play on the field. I strive to keep my grades up because it shows me that I am willing to put in the effort to do good in life; it reflects what type of person you are and how hard you're willing to work, in my opinion. I am willing to do many different clubs for my school like the National Honors Society and National Beta Club. In my opinion, doing clubs and helping out your community is a very important skill to learn in life and they teach you life lessons that may only be first experienced by doing these clubs. I am willing to work with people and learn more from them.
