Personal Statement

I have been playing golf since I was three years old but have started taking it more seriously the past few years. I can strike the ball very well, while having good chipping and putting skills that I work on every week to continue to get better. I take advice from anyone that has anything to offer. I hope to play at the collegiate level because I am very dedicated to the game.

In school, I take honors and AP classes while keeping a 4.28 GPA. I am also a varsity cheerleader, which keeps me even more busy. I was selected to be in the National Junior Honor Society in middle school. I am a member of the National Honor Society and the Penn State Fayetteville 4.0 Club. I have volunteered at two local churches, a pre-schoool, school cheer camps, a junior golf camp and a local dance studio. I feel like I am a great role model for the little kids to look up to. In the end, I hope to find the right college with the best golf team for me. I will work as hard as I can to accomplish this and make everyone around me proud.
