Basketball and Lacrosse Being a student-athlete at Justin-Siena has let me be a part of something bigger than myself. With the help of my coaches, I learned to not just be a better teammate, but to be a better person in general; more patient, inclusive, and understanding. I am grateful for the guidance and inspiration my coaches have given me on and off the field. Athletic involvement has taught me very important life skills which I know I will use and practice for the rest of my life. In addition, playing sports forced me to be more organized, to be more responsible, to put the team above all, and to own my performance on the field, no matter the circumstances. My best memory was when I scored 5 goals in lacrosse against Novato, one of the top teams in the nation, and when I made the Varsity Lax team as a freshman. I want to work hard and enjoy every minute with my teammates, inspiring them to become better by the end of every practice and game. I am a part of the Spirit Club and I very much enjoyed Leadership during my junior year. I will go to a four year college or university to double major in nursing and psychology and will minor in Russian. My biggest influences on and off the field are my brother and my mother. My brother is a very good athlete himself and inspired me to start playing sports when we were little. My family is always very supportive of me and gives me constructive feedback to make me a better player. After JS I plan on playing club lacrosse in college. 30 AVANTI 2020
