Kaitlin Porter As of Right Now Communication Applications Kaitlin Porter

Autobiography

My name is Kaitlin Porter and I am currently a rising senior at Clear Lake High School. I am 17 years old. I have been to Mexico,London, and Canada. I was born in London, England and I also have a twin brother name Kyle. We moved over to the US when I was two, and have lived in Houston for the remaining part of my life. I currently play lacrosse and this season will be my 7th season. I am currently on Lake’s varsity team, Team Texas, a Texas club team called Lonelax, and a national travel team called XTEAM. I work at Pappa’s Seafood House as a server and hostess. When I am older, I want to broadcast on ESPN for a career and also be a lacrosse coach in the area I live in.

I am a very driven person. My biggest motivation would be to be the best I can be in all that I do. My personality is also very outgoing, and I am definitely social and like to meet new people and have a good time. I can sometimes be stubborn and hardheaded. I am a extremely competitive person, and what motivates me is seeing someone push themselves harder than me, and it makes me strive to become better. I feel that I am unique in the fact that I only have one parent. I won’t stop until I get something right. I see myself as a independent, sometimes stubborn, person who has drive and determination to do whatever she plans to do and succeed. I believe others see me as a role model, in the fact that I am extremely determined and a natural leader, yet I’m also able to listen to people’s opinions. What others see of me and what I see of myself are close, in how I am an outgoing, fun person but I can also be serious and get a job quickly and efficiently. My strengths are that I’m independent and able to handle high pressure situations. My weaknesses are that I lose faith and confidence in myself sometimes when I’m intimidated. I have a very dry sense of humor, and I tend to be sarcastic. Who am I?

Who am I? My strengths include athletics, fine arts, and history and English. My weaknesses are definitely math and sciences. Something I would change about my personality is sometimes I can be too hardheaded and stubborn and I wish I could just listen to other’s opinions about my situations more often. If I could change something about my appearance, I would probably make my hair longer and make myself a couple inches taller. My dad passed away in 2004 and since then I have had a single parent raise me.

My Influential People The most influential people in my life would have to be my mother and my lacrosse coach. The people that motivate me the most are my mother, my boyfriend, my coach, and my best friends. They influence me by always pushing me to be my best and to always try my hardest in everything I do. They set good examples and they possess qualities that I want to have. I would like to have their determination and I admire their drive to perfection. I wouldn’t want to have their ability not to multi-task, because sometimes they get overloaded with things and can’t handle the pressure.

My Future Plans My future plan is to broadcast on EPSN and to study sports business. I am in the middle of the recruiting process for lacrosse, but if I choose to go to a school not for lacrosse, I would like to attend the University of Alabama, if I go to school for lacrosse, the school I am talking to most is Winthrop University in South Carolina. I will accomplish my goals by staying determined and fighting my way to get into the broadcasting and sports business world. After my career is settled, I would love to coach lacrosse on the side, and marry a man with a steady and supportive job. My dream is to live either in Austin, TX, or Seattle, Washington. I would like to have two boys when I’m older and make the decision to have children. In ten years, I see myself broadcasting, married, and having my first child.

My Values My values are being the best I can be, and always trying my hardest in anything I do. My close friends and family influence my values. My values are how they are because I want to look back in life and say I tried my hardest in whatever I was doing. These values affect my life in I tend to be a perfectionist and I won’t stop something unless I get it right to where it satisfies me. My values affect my decision making in the fact I don’t want one mistake to alter my life and career path. I don’t try and change others’ values, I just know who I am and what I stand for and no one is going to affect my opinions.

My Life Philosophy My life philosophy would be “live like today is your last.” I think that in life you should live it to where if you looked back you would have no regrets and there are no “what if’” I live by this by doing what I want, and not thinking about what if something happens. My actions live up to this philosophy in by how spontaneous and wild I am, but sometimes it does bite me in the back since my mom worries about me getting hurt or getting in trouble.
