The process is painstaking, the hours are long, and the money put in you can only hope to get back out. I am talking about college recruiting process for a high school athlete and the final moments of committing to a college that you know is the one. I started the process as a Junior in high school and it was not a pretty start. I went to my first camp in Connecticut and to be honest it was abismal. I was disappointed in myself and I was disappointed in my performance. I kept my spirits up though because I know that there isn't anyone who out works me and I take pride in knowing that. All together I traveled into 7 states and my parents, bless their hearts, spent thousands of dollars just to help me get into a good college with a baseball team that I felt comfortable with. Turns out that after everything I was given an 85% scholarship to Molloy College in Rockville Center New York and after one year the money spent by my parents pays itself back with the incredible scholarship that I received and it's all because of the work that I put in. Yesterday was the date of my official commitment, and to be honest I am so glad that it is all over.
Molloy College is a Division II NCAA college located ten minutes from Long Beach where I hope to spend my last three years of college. The business program is also an up and coming program who I think may be one of the best business programs on the east coast in the next ten years. I am so excited to spend the next four years of my life at Molloy, its a great school, a great team, and its got a beautiful location. Two days ago I was a Bull Dog and today, I am a LION!
