Lacrosse and It's Impact on My Life

     It all started in 3rd grade when I picked up my very first lacrosse stick. At that moment, I knew that baseball was far in the past and I had found my new passion. Ever since that day, lacrosse has been able to teach me a lot of things. Whether it's respect, patience, or perseverance, all these traits help me in my everyday life. Patience is something that not many people have. It's a special trait that you can be proud of. To add on, lacrosse was able to teach me that not everything will go my way, I'm not always going to get the ball, and this allowed me to build a sense of patience. Not only have I learned a lot from my experiences, but lacrosse has become a serious part of my life. Spending my weekends in Maryland competing against kids all over the east coast, training all year, around, and being invited to prospect camps are keeping me busy, and also teaching me how to properly balance my life.
    Whether its school, sports or my social life, I've learned how to properly balance my busy life. Balancing everything certainly isn't easy, but it prepares me for the rest of my life, and reminds me to do the important things first. School and good grades before everything. Lacrosse is next considering it can play a role in my future. This ability didn't come over nigh though. For the longest time I thought that I'd become a Major League Lacrosse player when I was older, and that was my first priority. But as school became more challenging and work started piling, I started to see how important it really was. Lacrosse is only temporary and will only get me so far. But it definitely taught me aspects of life I would've been unable to acquire had I never picked up a lacrosse stick
