PERSONAL STATEMENT
Starting Lacrosse in seventh grade was a real turning point in my life. I learned that I could do anything as long as I worked as hard as I could and didn’t worry about what everybody else is doing. This helped inspire me to begin playing soccer again after several years and to fence for two years in high school. This lesson also translated to the classroom. I’ve achieved high grades in subjects that have not previously been my strong suit, simply by applying myself.
