I have been playing lacrosse since third grade. I remember the day I first saw a lacrosse game. It was after my baseball game in 2nd grade and my family and I were leaving the park. We walked by a field where 4th graders were playing lacrosse. I stopped to watch and was instantly hooked. Since Kindergarten I've played football, soccer, baseball, wrestling but lacrosse is the best combination of all the things I love about sports: quick play, strategy, physical contact and mental toughness.

I currently take AP/advanced level classes and hope to study engineering in college. I volunteer at my high school and in my local church community. I am part of the Math League and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) at school. This year I joined the Peer Leadership committee called REACH which helps to acclimate the incoming freshman (current 8th graders at our middle school) to the high school.
