Personal Statement

My collegiate goals are to accomplish my major of choice is kinesiology with a minor in American sign language. I would also like to get involved in as many club or school activities as I can to better myself an learn new leadership skills planning, social skills, (even though I'm already very social), and creativity

For my throwing career, I hope to be able to go professional an learn more about all of my throwing events. One of my goals for throwing would be to encourage men and women who think there not built for throwing to at least go and try, whether they be in college, high school, or even middle school.

What makes me a good candidate is that I'm very coach-able and dedicated, I like to get things done. I set season goals for myself and work to accomplish those goals. I'm also very outgoing so I can get along with everyone and make them feel welcomed.

I'm different from other recruits because I set high goals for myself and work as hard as I can to get to those goals. I like to challenge myself and learn from those challenges because I can grow as person and use those lessons to further me in future challenges. From this one characteristic I’m able to use it in my athletic life and school life.
