Maria Velez '24 Recruiting Profile

Since I was a little kid, I've known that studying in the best educational system in the world while playing competitive golf, was my biggest goal. Today, I am working to complete that dream to make my little self proud. I know I am a good candidate for the team because I've been playing golf for almost 13 years. I have learned plenty about it. I know how to control my emotions, and although golf is an independent sport, I know how to work with a team as a supporting teammate. Additionally, I like to be competitive, which can keep the team in balance and strike towards a clear objective. I believe I stand out from other recruits because I know about self-discipline. This quality is something really hard to master, I have been trying to learn it for years, and every day I improve my skill. Moreover, thanks to self-discipline I know how to balance my time management to be prominent in school and practice, knowing how to work without someone else's pressure.
