PERSONAL STATEMENT
I have been playing baseball since I was 7 years old.  I fell in love with the sport the first time I put on a uniform.  Through these years of playing, baseball has taught me many lessons.  How to win, how to lose, and how to compete.  The most important lesson I learned is that of perseverance.  Every team that I played for,  I needed to earn my starting position. This made me continue to strive to be better than the person in front of me. This transferred to my school work and how I approach life. Be better and do better than the day before.  Always try to improve.
