Braden Cross '17 Recruiting Profile

I have dyslexia which makes any reading and writing assignments incredibly hard for me.  I am also a slow processor and it takes extra time for me to learn new things.  With that being said, once I have learned something it stays with me forever.  Even though I have not won any academic awards I do feel like I have been victorious in my academic pursuit.  I have had to learn it takes me triple the amount of time to complete my projects than my peers.  I have also had to learn how to time manage.  It is my hope to go to a four year college and be successful academically and also be successful on the lacrosse field.  Lacrosse has kept me motivated when I have wanted to quit school.  I am a great candidate because I am flexible and know how to work hard to accomplish goals.  I know how to persevere and overcome adversity.  My challenges are also my rewards which makes me unique. This year I have been rewarded with leadership opportunity to serve as my Varsity Lacrosse Team Captain.
