• Grade: 12 / GPA: 3.1 AP: Psychology

• Sports: Paddling, Baseball, Football

• Future Plans: I plan on going to Northern Arizona University.

• Sports Lessons: Sports give me a sense of purpose in my life. When I am not playing sports I feel like a part of me is missing. I also love being with teammates and friends doing the sports I love.

Being an athlete has taught me countless lessons. My most valuable being never give up when you’re down, push forward no matter what. This does not just relate to sports, it relates to life. Life isn’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
