“ Rob is the quintessential “boy next door,” that his neighbors adore. …I have the utmost respect for this young man’s character. In the middle of a snow storm, he is the teenager out shoveling snow for elderly citizens and pulling their weeds in the spring, a character trait I don’t often see in students.”

 “I have coached Rob for four years in golf and have observed him playing football and participating in Physical Education. The level of maturity, perseverance and determination that Rob displays is extraordinary. In my twenty years as a teacher and coach, I believe that Rob is as fine a young man as I have had the privilege to coach.”

 Essay Excerpt: 

“Golf is a game that is played on a five inch course - the distance between your ears.” Many golfers have thrown a club at one time or another. Throwing clubs does not happen often, I have witnessed it countless times. One time I will never forget is when my teammate’s putter ended up in a tree. We were playing in a match and my foursome was right behind his. The course we were playing was not in very good shape. The greens had just been aerated and the balls were bouncing all over the place. It was the 6^th hole and my group was in the fairway waiting to hit the green. My teammate had just putted and missed a 2-3 foot putt. He stormed after the ball, finished out the hole and tossed his putter as high as he could. Incidentally, it did not come down. It was stuck in the branches. Once my group finished out the hole, we all helped him try to get his club down. After about ten minutes, we moved on and he finished the remaining holes with his driver. This entire situation could have been avoided if he had controlled his anger, put his putter away and moved on to the next hole.
