Personal Statement

I am interested in the medical field, teaching and art, but I haven't made any definite decisions in that area.  I enjoy working with and helping people.  I am also very competitive, I love to compete. I have played soccer since I was 4 and softball since I was 11, played basketball, lacrosse and love being part of a team.  My teammates become my sisters since I have 2 brothers and no sisters of my own.  I come from a wrestling family, my dad wrestled and coached, my uncle, my cousins and my brothers all were wrestlers and I grew up around wrestlers.  I am tougher because of it. My parents taught me that success is more about effort and work ethic, and matters just as much as talent.  I try to push my teammates to be better and to improve and want teammates who make me better too.  I am physically very strong and have been doing Crossfit to help stay in shape with sports cancelled in Nevada.  I have a solid GPA but school has never been easy for me.  It's something I work really hard for because I know it is just one of those things that doesn't come easy for me and I have to work harder at it than most people.   I love to coach younger girls and I help with the winter pitching clinic in our town. I come from a small town and we really don't have the same opportunity athletes in larger cities often have. I would love to be the one who made it so other girls would try too and help to bring more attention to girls from rural areas.
