I started playing lacrosse at 8 years old and continued training to get to the level that I am at now. I am confident at dodging, finishing, faking, and passing with both my right and left hand. I am a multi-sport athlete and I have been on my High School Varsity team ever since freshman year in both soccer and lacrosse. My sophomore year I was selected to play on the CT Rising Stars and CT National Team (Team 2). Also, I was picked by my teammates to be captain for the soccer team next year and received coaches award. I am currently taking rigorous honor and IB courses while maintaining a 3.95 GPA. My freshman year I remained with second honors, but throughout my sophomore and junior year I ended with first honors. The extracurricular activities that I am involved in outside of sports and school are Diversity Club and Black Student Union. Also, I am a camp counselor that works with children over the summer. My first sport was soccer at the age of 4 for my town recreation team. I played offense and defense, but at age 8 I decided that I wanted to play goalie. I played goalie for my town team and continued playing for two premier teams until my freshman year of high school. I didnt play goalie in high school because we already had a starting goalie. I was a starting defensive varsity player until broke my finger in the third game of the season( which turned out to be a benign tumor). During my sophomore and junior year, my new coach played me a center mid. During the the time that I was playing soccer and lacrosse, I was taking Tae Kwon Do lessons starting at the age of 5. During my training, I received my black belt at age 10 and finished with my 2nd degree black belt at age 12. I also compete in tournaments around the states of Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and New York. In the tournaments I would spar with girls in my age division, and do forms against boys and girls my age. When I would compete, I never received a trophy less than 3rd place. If it wasnt 1st or 2nd, I wouldnt take the trophy home. There was a two year period where I didnt lose a fight.
