"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin." - MLK

Hello, my name is Benny. I've been rice picking for a little over five years now since I have started in fifth grade. I have always tried to do my best, and I've never believed in failure. Whether it's on or off the fields, I strive to be a good person. Whether it's helping an opposing player up or holding the door for strangers in public. I feel adding me to your school willing bring positive attitude to not only the team, but also the student body.

My parents have always taught me to be a good person, and I give everyone respect. If I score a goal in a game, I never show-boat or get cocky. If were losing in a game, I never let my frustrations get the best of me and still try my hardest because losing is not an option.

I'm a pretty physically fat child. I take personal training sessions at my local gym and have already seen improvements. Over just this summer I've gone from 95 pounds to 110 pounds and I'm still gaining. I have good cardio and since I'm not the biggest player, I let my speed help me get by my bigger opponents.

In school, I'm seen as a nice kid who gets very good grades. I have never gotten anything below a B in my life. I stray away from the bad crowd of kids who do things that I feel would cut my chances into getting into any colleges. For any tests, especially Spanish, I study as hard as possible to get the best grades I can get.

All around, I'm a healthy, talented kid who has a passion for playing lacrosse. I strive to have a bright future and succeed in what I love doing. Thank you for taking your time to read this.
