Throughout my life, my family has been an important foundation and model for who I want to be as an adult. Starting when I was just an infant, my grandparents took care of me regularly, and I was supported in every activity I was interested in. As I grew up, sports began factoring into how my character was being shaped, and the support of my family in my athletic abilities gave me the confidence to succeed. When I was younger, I played soccer as my primary sport and golf as a secondary sport. I learned many lessons from these activities. While soccer taught me about being a part of a team and pushing myself to help the team succeed, golf taught me about self-discipline, focus and independence. From my earliest memories, I have played golf with my grandpa, dad and brother. The serenity of a golf course, the focus required, the comradery of teammates in an individual sport, and the hours of practice required to improve my game, drove me to make it my number one sport - the one I want to play in college. Life lessons are abundant in golf. My favorite lesson from hours on the golf course is that to improve, you have to have a consistent discipline of practice. I think this applies to many areas of life. Success occasionally comes by luck or chance, but the majority of the time, success comes from hard work that is intentional and consistent. A few of the other lessons that golf has taught me are patience for the long term, remaining calm under pressure, and maintaining the mental toughness to endure adversity. I want to continue to enhance my golf game by playing in college to combine the lessons of golf with the lessons of management and leadership that I plan to focus on in business school. I think I can take these skills far beyond the course and the classroom into my daily life as an adult. Additionally, golf is a game that you can play for life. I am still able to play with my 80-year-old grandpa and see how the game changes as you get older, but can be enjoyed for many, many years. It is especially gratifying to have generations of family on the course together to build strong family bonds over the years. With the support and teaching of my family all along the way, sports - and, golf, in particular, have shaped who I am and who I want to be to succeed in life.
