I also had the privilege of coaching a 13 year old all star team. At this same league I coached for I work on the field every morning before games and renovations in the off-season. In Addition to coaching and working on the field I often worked concessions during nights whenever I wasnt playing myself in the older division. From this League is 500+ Hours. Also during the school year I will weekly spend my saturday mornings volunteering at an Animal Shelters. Right Now at 75 Hours but by end of school year I am expecting 100+

Counselor Rec: I was always in her office talking about anything. I would go in there for a 5 minute question and we would talk for the whole period. I know it will be a good one
Additional Rec: Didnt Send one - Rice said they didnt really want extra recs
Interview: I had one on campus. Went well but wasn’t some exceptional conversation.
Other Notes: I have shown exceptional interest especially being from Illinois. I’ve visited campus twice, overnight stay, campus tour, on and off-campus info sessions, engineering info sessions, was in contact with a alum who I met at the Rice vs Notre Dame football game early this year. It is ridiculous how much I love it and I certainly believe I have expressed that!
