basketball I first learned to dribble a basketball when I was two years old while attending the Washington state basketball tournament as my dad coached the Ilwaco Fishermen to the championship game. Ever since then I have maintained my passion for basketball, playing on little league, middle school, and high school teams. I lettered at Ilwaco all four years of high school while starting as a guard my last three years. We placed 7th at state my freshman year and made it to the third round my senior year when I was the second leading scorer on our team and made All-League second team. I was the fourth highest scorer at the state tournament that year. I continue to play basketball on a weekly basis and I was the captain of three intramural teams at Gonzaga last year. I am a completely ambidextrous player who knows all about shooting, dribbling, and other individual techniques. I also have taken classes on officiating and know a great deal about offensive/defensive strategy. I am an avid college basketball and NBA fan. Basketball is by far my favorite sport, which helps qualify me as a suitable tutor. grammar I have demonstrated solid skills in grammar over the years by passing all the necessary English classes. I remember excelling in grammar during my sophomore year of high school when we studied the subject in depth. I know the difference between many terms including: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, gerunds, participles, infinitives, etc. I got A’s in all my high school English classes, and I got an A- in English 101 and a B+ in English 102 at GU, both under very challenging professors. I was editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper, which required an extensive knowledge of grammar so that I could sufficiently proofread my peers’ articles. track & field Ever since the fourth grade, I have loved running. I looked forward to Monday mile runs and went to Junior National running events with the Rain City Flyers out of Seattle. I joined the middle school Cross Country team at Ilwaco my seventh grade and proceeded to do Cross Country and Track through my next six years. In track and field I specialized in middle distance events, winning the 400 and 4x400 meter relay and league my 8th grade year. In high school, our 4x400 meter team broke the school record with a time of 3:28 my freshman year. My junior and senior year, I won the 800m at the District championships and was on the winning 4x400 meter relay team for Ilwaco. I placed 3rd and 7th at state in the 800m and 7th and 6th in the 4x400 during my junior and senior seasons. I was captain of the track team at Ilwaco during my last two years of high school and found myself largely responsible for things like relay hand-offs, team stretches, and other organizational matters. In addition to my specialized events, I also have experience in sprints, long distance, long jump, and high jump. I love track and field and other types of long distance running. I would have continued with the sport, but injuries prevented me from doing track and field at Gonzaga my first two years. However, I am planning on trying to walk-on to the team this next spring. If I had the opportunity to tutor people in track and field, I could help them with their running technique, diet, and specialized needs like relay strategy and block starts. Three years of running camps and having my dad as my Cross Country/Track and Field coach in high school has given me a wealth of knowledge at my finger tips. I enjoy watching college/professional track and field. I even attended the Preclassic last year in Eugene, OR. All in all, I think that I could help someone with any of their track and field needs.
