I started lacrosse when I was in 8'th grade. Even though I was new to the sport, I ended up making the JV team. Seeing the potential that I had, my coach told me that with some practice he could easily see me on the Varsity team. That off season, I trained harder than I had previously in my life. In the end, I was rewarded with a starting spot on Varsity as well as lettering by the end of the season. The next season, I came in more prepared than ever, being the brain of the defense and could take control of any situation. Being a sophomore, I acknowledged that there was still room for growth and got back to work.
The same work ethic that I have towards lacrosse applies also to the classroom. Starting out it was discovered that I had difficulty learning, which placed me in an IEP program. By 7'th grade, and through a lot of hard work, it was decided that I no longer qualified for the program, as my grades were too high. Today, I am in all honors and AP classes, trying to prepare myself for the day I go to collage.
I know that I'm not perfect, but I'm also committed to work everyday to achieve something greater, and can guarantee that you won't find someone who will work harder to succeed then me.
