Do you believe? Do you believe in achieving dreams? I believe that becoming a college golfer at ArizonaState will change my life into believing that I can achieve my dreams. How I am going to achieve this is by setting three main goals. These three goals are to become a SCRATCH golfer which means that I will need to play every course without any mistakes, next I want a 3.8 average in school and right now I have a 3.6 so I have not achieved my goal yet, last I want to win three state championships for the golf team. Do you think I can achieve my goals?

Let me start off with my hardest goal, the one that has me stressing every night. Reaching a 3.8 is going to be my toughest goal because in the last year it has been really tough for me and my family. The reason for this is we lost my beloved older sister Aubri. Do you think you could come back to school knowing that you won’t ever see your brother, sister, mom or your dad? Or waking up just begging it was a dream. Not to startle you but it really hurts to watch your sister you grew up with, looked up to, and love to see her be put into the ground. But this isn’t supposed to make you sad is it’s supposed to tell you that I still went forward and that I still have dreams. So in short it has had many up and downs’, feeling the pains has been more often than finding joy. But I still am going to reach my goal of getting a 3.8. Now on the other hand knowing that school is important, golf is what I believe has changed my life and will keep changing in the future. So I have told my self that I want to have won three state championships so whenArizona does look at my transcript they know that I am a fantastic golfer. I have the vision of them calling me and begging for me to come down and view the college. Getting off the plane and having the coach greeting me telling me about their program. Before I get the chance to go there I need to have played on a good team and I thank the golf coach he has given our team the best chance to do this. My last goal is becoming a scratch golfer which should be the easiest because of all the practice I put into my game. I go to the golf course so early in the morning you still have frost on the ground. I hit so many golf balls I have blister. But you walk away from the course feeling accomplished. In conclusion I have also had thoughts like what if there is one better kid out there and I just keep pushing so I know I can be the best. I have never had thoughts that I have ever regretted anything from golf other that I have become very competitive.. I conclude by saying that by completing these three things I believe I will achieve my dreams.
