December 2016Personal Statement
I am a 5’4” pitcher from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. I will be graduating Union Catholic High School in 2020 and I have a 4.0 GPA in the Distinguished Scholars Program (accelerated and AP courses). Last year, I was the starting pitcher on varsity at Union Catholic High School as a freshman. I was nominated by NJ.com as one of the Best Freshman Pitcher in NJ and the 40 Fab Freshman that can impact NJ state tournament. I was also 2017 ALL-Union County Conference (UCC) - ALL-Valley Division HS softball 1st Team as a freshman pitcher and also 2017 Courier News All-Area HS Softball 3rd team as a freshman pitcher.
I have been playing on the Morris County Belles for 3 years. 2 years with 14U and now with the 18U Gold team.
I am looking for a college that will let my light shine brightly both in the field and in the classroom. My ideal school region would be along the east coast but I am willing to travel anywhere to a school that has what I am looking for. I want a school that will allow me to complete my goal of becoming a Pediatrician. I am particularly looking for schools with a strong science program to help me on my path to becoming a Pediatrician.
