Grace Bowman '20 Recruiting Profile

I want to get a bachelors degree in a 4 year college and continue into a vet tech school for another 4 years of schooling. I love animals and have all my life, in fact I have wanted to be a vet since I was in 1st grade. I am also aware that this job pays way less then a doctor (which I am also quite interested in) but since animals is something I have loved to work with for a long time I have stayed more attached to it. Lacrosse has been my favorite sport since the summer after my 6th grade year (2014) when I participated in the summer camp. After this I was glued to lacrosse and participated in it for its first year ever in Watertown WI (2015). Unfortunately I ruptured my ACL in my right knee during one of the last few games of the season while playing the mid field (May 31, 2015, 9 days after I turned 13), but because of my flexibility of being able to play all positions I finished the rest of the game in the goal as goalie. I took on the one year recovery as a 13 year old and was told it would be hard for me to recover but finished quite strong and returned to a strength and agility camp which got me strong again then participated in my first year of tennis. This shows my great strength and commitment to sports and finishing things that need to be done. I plan to participate once again in lacrosse this year for my first year being able to return to the sport. Thank you for reading!
