Being a goalie has a lot more meaning to me than just stopping the ball, it means having the mental strength to know that the ball may get past me from time to time, but it doesn't define me as an athlete or a person. It means being a team player, being in control, and having an impact on the opposing team's score. I may not have a significant impact on my team's score, but I can make an impact with strong clears and solid communication. While I enjoy playing lacrosse, I enjoy other interests too. I love to read, babysit, serve my school on student government, play with computers, and build and fix things. I am really motivated by a challenge and have a strong competitive side. Give me a broken small appliance that may be on its last legs, and all I see is the challenge to try to fix it.
