Personal Interests

Softball has had such a profound impact on my life that I became interested in the injuries I received over the years while playing and also how these injuries healed. The aspect of how injuries are healed and how the muscles build back up is something I would love to learn. I have talked to admissions offices of several graduate schools to know the prerequisites, and all of the ones I am interested in (Virginia Commonwealth University, Shenandoah University, and Duke University) told me that if I majored in biology I would have all of the prerequisites needed to attend their schools. In high school I worked as an athletic trainer's assistant my senior year and know a lot about this field of work. My hopes are to major in biology with a minor in Spanish and go on to graduate school to become an athletic trainer for teams that travel across seas. Last summer I played softball for Sports Plus which is based in Midlothian, Va. We played tournaments in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida, and California. We placed first and second in many of these tournaments. The day before my team left for California, I broke my ankle on my boyfriend's jet ski and did not get to go to California with my team. In the spring, I will be fully recovered, and ready to play first base for Sweet Briar College's new varsity softball team. It will be the first year that they play varsity softball in the ODAC. We have a whole new program with many new recruits who have excellent softball experience. Even though this year will be a year to get ODAC experience under our belts, in the next few years to come our team should be placing in the top teams in the ODAC.
