Personal Statement

My goal is to find a college that has a great athletic and academic program. Equally important is to motivate and inspire me to be an outstanding and moral person. I am confident that my character and motivation will be an asset to any team and any school. I am an extremely hard worker and a good teammate. I love to help and learn from others. During my 4 years on the Varsity Golf team, I recruited new golfers and organized informal practices. Many of these girls were new to the sport so I was able to apply my love of teaching to help them. I was able to encourage them to love this sport after a few months of holding a club. What makes me different is how I am willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. I don't quit. I feel it is important to learn new things constantly, as evidenced by my golf development. Over the next two years, I feel consistency will drive me to success on the course through lower scores and superior sportsmanship. I always try to learn something about the sport, whether it be the technical aspect of the game or my ability to manage emotions during a match. With my goal of educating others, as a teacher and golf coach, I feel I can achieve satisfaction in life while improving the lives of others. I will never forget my first experience on the range with my coach. I swung my driver and popped the ball straight up. After laughing, my coach jokingly whispered to me "new Golfer". I was determined to succeed from that point forward. Needless to say I have not popped the ball up since.....
