Julia Merenda '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Julia Merenda and I've been playing Lacrosse since I was 12 years old. I strive to be one of the best on and off the field. I find my self to be incredibly skilled in my stick work and I am a very good runner. I will put in 110% in every practice just as if I were playing in a game. I am a respectable teammate, always listening to what my coaches have to say. I love getting advice from teammates on what to do better and I love getting asked for help on what they could do better. I play 3 sports all year round including lacrosse. I've been playing Varsity field hockey for 3 years and I started it in middle school and I also do winter track. I am a commited midfielder in lacrosse, I love playing offense and defense. My coach says I'm very quiet but I'm a very good all around player. You can put me in any position on the field and I'll achieve greatness in it. 

Some things about me, I am very outgoing. I love being around people and having a good time. I love going to the beach and being out with my friends. I find myself to be very sociable and confident. Just like on the field, I am a very well rounded student. I put 110% in all my studies and partake in various activities. I keep my GPA high and keep my grades at A's and B's. I am the editor of the school newspaper and I volunteer my free time at the Ocean Medical Hospital. I also have a deep love for animals and want to be around them when I am older. I see myself being very successful because I also try and do the best I can in everything I do. 

My college goals are to also keep my grades up high. Take some challenging classes and keep playing lacrosse throughout those years. I want to major in biology and zoology, to become a zoologist. I hope to travel a lot when I achieve that job and help every animal I can. I would also like to coach lacrosse when I'm older to help those that want to exceed in this sport as I do, just like my coaches have helped me.

All in all, I believe I am a good choice for a recruiter because I can be the best there is. I will put in the work and come out swinging every game to my very best ability.
