Personal Statement
To whom this may reach:
I've been asked the performant question of "what do you want to be when you're older" more times than I can count. I've had the same answer since I was 5 years old, being a hockey player. As years go by and as each hockey season ends I grow an even greater passion and dedication to the game. As many Coaches and my family have taught me over the years that It's important to not only be hockey players but also good people and allow yourself to strive to be better with everyday on and off the ice. My brother moved to Colorado to play Junior A hockey at a young age and learning from him as my biggest role model to demonstrate the ups and downs, struggles and successes that make you the best version of yourself. Him being six years older than I feel grateful that he’s taken me under his wing and that I can learn from him and have unconditional support from my family.
I go to a self directed school called Bishop Carroll High School, time management and organization is an important skill that I am acquiring that will also lead into my post secondary experience. I take great pride in my academics as I know it plays a crucial role in moving to the next level. For the field of interest I chose in my academics I strive to excelling in.
What sets me apart from other athletes is that my Dad passed away at a young age and made me grow up a little quicker than most. It gives me the mindset and motivation to not take a day for granted and to be grateful for the blessings in life big or small. A work ethic like a work horse and hungry for success as much as I want to breath. I am grateful for what I've gone through and relationships I've gained to get me to where I am today, to continue what I've learned day by day and in hopes to continue my journey in what looks like a bright future ahead!
