Program Details

This summer, I worked as a caddy at the local golf course. It wasn’t just a job but an opportunity to immerse myself in the game I loved but had struggled to break into. For years, I had tried out for the varsity golf team, facing rejection after rejection. Each time, I was told I wasn’t quite ready. But I wasn’t willing to give up.

As a caddy, I was surrounded by the sport daily. I learned the nuances of the game, observed skilled golfers, and understood the strategic aspects that I had previously overlooked. I practiced relentlessly during my off hours, applying the techniques and insights I gained from watching and interacting with experienced players.

My hard work paid off. I was prepared when tryouts for the varsity team came around this year. With newfound confidence and a deeper understanding of the game, I gave it my all. This time, the coaches saw the improvement in my skills and my dedication. I made the team.

This journey taught me that perseverance and a willingness to learn and adapt are crucial to success. What started as a summer job became a pivotal experience that helped me achieve my goal.
