Tracy Abigail Wright

NCSAU

Personal Statement

I am fourteen years old and I love golf!  However, there is more to me than golf.  In my free time I like to create Arts & Crafts, spend time with my friends, and collect rocks and quarters.  My favorite number is 2 and my favorite color is aqua.  I really like school and my favorite subject is math.  I’m somewhat of a math nerd – thanks to my Daddy!  I also enjoy watching The Weather Channel – especially during hurricane season.  My favorite book is A Wrinkle in Time.  If I could eat ice cream every day, I would!  My favorite flavor of ice cream is Birthday Cake!  I have been participating in local beauty pageants since the age of four.  I have won five titles.  I enjoy the competition of the pageants, but I really enjoy the comradery I get with the other girls in the pageant.  It’s a time I get to show my “girlie” side!    

I had to have my adenoids removed when I was fifteen months old.  I had to receive speech therapy in elementary school because I was suffering from a slight hearing loss in both ears.  This hearing loss has been something I’ve had to manage my entire life.  I make it a point to look people directly in the face when speaking with them, I ask for clarification when I “miss” something that is being said, in other words, it has made me take ownership of my world.  There are no excuses in my life.  I am who I am and I have to make the best with what I’ve been given.

Golf has also helped me to build the self-confidence I had to work on in school.  Since it is just me and the course, I can’t rely on anyone to do it for me.  I love my Coach, Coach Say.  He allows me to struggle until I find what works best for me as an athlete.  I speak up for myself.  I don’t allow the opposing player to do mind-tricks with me during a match.  I am worthy and deserve to be on the course just like everyone else.  I am Black Girl Magic!
