College Admissions Essay: My High School Life

Improved Essays
My whole high school career has been filled with many accomplishments and many failures. So, the whole high school experience has been pretty good. I believe that I am a well rounded person, that can do many things. In school, I have worked hard to get good grades and be the best person I could be. I just tried to be myself, most of the time. My personality leads me to the realm of sports. I play three sports, Football, Basketball, and Baseball. I consider myself to pretty good at all of these sports. But my favorite or best sport I play is Baseball. I’ve played this sport since I was 3, it’s part of my lifestyle. My life would be wrong without it.
Baseball is what’s going to help me get into college. I’ve played on the varsity baseball team

As a team we didn’t play very good all summer, but personally I’ve played some of the best baseball ever in my life. My team and I went to a baseball tournament in South Bend, Indiana or Notre Dame University. This tournament was a great experience for my team and myself, I played best on my team this trip. I batted with .750 Hitting Percentage for the tournament, and had a On Base Percentage of .860. That’s pretty good when you're playing in a national 64 team tournament. The pros who go to the hall of fame bat an average of .333 Hitting Percentage. So, my summer went pretty well, and this led to getting ready for football. One of our football trainings was in Xenia, Ohio for 7 on 7, which is a way to practice passing plays and passing coverages for defense. As I was playing defense, during this 7 on 7, the ball was thrown my way towards the receiver I was guarding and when I landed I heard and felt a pop towards my knee. I broke my leg. It was pretty gruesome and hard to look at. The name for this fracture is the Salter-Harris II Fracture. Now, I’m out for the football season. My senior football year. I’m Done!
My goal coming up this winter is to first get completely healthy for basketball and baseball. I want to go out with a bang to become the Most Dedicated Senior Athlete for my class. But most importantly I want to go to college at the Ohio State University and walk onto the baseball team. I want to help them become the best baseball program in the Big Ten if not the country. My whole life has prepared me for my moment and my moment is yet to come and I know it’s going to

    In the past four years, I have had many experiences with family, friends and an extreme amount of clubs, activities, and home life occasions I am involved in. But in all honesty sports have taught me a lot about people, life and even myself. I have been a part of many teams in my lifetime and played several abstract sports, but at Summit Academy High School the sports are very unique. There are mixed attitudes towards the teams, players and coaches that you would not see at any other school. But I like to call them obstacles and challenges.…

    As I approached my last year of Jr. High, I questioned whether high school sports were something I wanted to participate in. In Jr. High, I excelled in sports playing basketball in the fall, volleyball in the winter, and track and field during the spring.

The decision to play sports was definitely the right choice to make.…

    Ever since I could hold my head up, there has been a baseball hat on it. From a very young age, baseball was something that came naturally to me. Even in little league, the sound of the leather ball accelerating off the metal of the bat was a joy that could only be paralleled by the music ringing from the ice cream truck. However, it wasn’t the ease at which baseball came to me that kept me coming back to it. It was the team.…
