Baseball Activities: 3x Letter Last year I became a key player on our team pitching almost every other game. I learned to be a constructive leader by teaching younger players the correct skills and understanding the bigger picture of baseball. This year I am in the same role and have grown even more as a person thanks to the mental skills and work ethic I have gained through I school sports.
​
Outside of School Activities:
As a Freshman I began to work as an NVAA Rec basketball referee. Not only has this helped me give back to the community, it taught me how to interact with new people and create a positive impression on those around me. As a Junior, I was hired to work at the P.B. Roche Memorial batting cages. I learned various leadership skills such as communication and reliability. As a senior, I am pursuing a summer job with companies that will teach me the ins and outs of working in a printing shop.
Career Goal in 2 years: In 2 years I plan to be an intern for a company in Colorado, learning how to be successful with marketing in the age of technology. I also plan on working a full time job during school which will help me improve my social skills.
​
Career Goal in 5 Years: In five years, I want to be a marketing department manager, giving back to the company I will have been an intern for. I want to increase the company's sales and improve its image for future employees and customers.
​
Career Goal in 10 Years:
In ten years, I will be applying for permits to own a printing shop. Within the following months, I plan to purchase a shop and begin business. I also plan to coach a local high school baseball or basketball team to teach others how to be gentlemen.
​
Why this grant?:
I have heard great things about the Friends of Baseball team and enjoy similar activities that are offered through your company. I was informed of the grant by various coaches and former teammates who appreciate what the organization has done for them.
​
How will this help YOU!:
I am applying for this grant because I plan to graduate college debt free. This grant will not only help accomplish that goal but set me up for a future of success.
Graduating debt-free will allow me to pursue my own business quickly and help me enjoy my young life without added stress.
