One of my main achievements in golf was being awarded the MVP on our team sophomore year. Also I received an I CAN PUTT Award the same year for the lowest number of putts for the season at 13. I also was the medalist is a lot of our school matches. In a Junior Tournament Scramble last year I got closest to the pin on a long par four. Besides all the ribbons and little plaques though in golf, my main achievement was personal. I learned a lot about myself and life, that it’s not easy, and you have to work hard to take what is yours.

I've received small awards for different things such as ribbons for music, or a plaque for golf, but the achievement that I am most proud of was being presented with the Mason Rotary Club Award. It is presented to students that have shown good attitude and perseverance not only in school, but sports and other activities as well. A lot of people have trophies stacked and polished that say what it is they did on them; but few have something they can show for character. This is my most important achievement because I know it can take me further than an empty cup or a golden statue. It can take me anywhere, be it golf or something else, good character is my best accomplishment.

One main thing that would make me a good college student-athlete is my work ethic and knowledge of priorities. The first being my grades will always come first. I work hard in school so that I am able to go out and have fun competing. I also work hard in golf; I know that if I want to get better, I have to work harder. I recently I realized that if you put in the work you'll get better. Everyone always says that but I would practice and it would seem there was no change. And because of that it makes it easy to give up, but finally it clicked. I finally started playing better, and swinging better, but more important than the golf, it made me understand that if you work at something and keep working at it, it will get better. This was most visible effective on my grades, as my mindset changed, so did everything else. A good college student-athlete knows that, and is willing to do what it takes, now that I know that, I am more than willing to do what it takes.

College is about higher education, i have a lot of goals for college golf and non golf related. Though I am undecided on a major, I am going to get a degree, possibly a masters and business, and to network with people in and out of the college. I want to take part in the community as well as activites with schoool. In tearms of golf, i want to go as far as my abilities can take me.
