Miracle Goolsby – Class of 2020

Miracle is a senior at Arabia Mountain High School. Miracle will attend Georgia Southern University on the Hope Scholarship.

Favorite FTMA Memory: Golf baseball was fun and it helped me with my hand and eye coordination. I enjoyed traveling to the Master’s with  First Tee of Metro Atlanta. Having the opportunity to volunteer with the younger golfers gives me a sense of pride and boost of self-confidence.

How FTMA has impacted my life: First Tee of Metro Atlanta taught me the importance of truthfulness on and off the golf course. I’ve earned several awards in school because of integrity and respectfulness. I’m the captain of my golf team because of the sportsmanship that oozes out of me. Because of the First Tee program I’m an awesome citizen who will help develop others as I continue in this journey called life.

Austin is a senior at McEachern High School in Powder Springs. Austin will attend Chattahoochee Technical College – Business Marketing Program.

Favorite FTMA Memory: I have been involved with the First Tee program since 3rd grade and have enjoyed my experience. My favorite memory is when I was selected to go to Washington, D.C. It was a great experience. I got to learn a lot more about other participants in the program it was overall a fun experience.

How FTMA has impacted my life: First Tee has helped develop me into the young man I am today because without it I would probably not have been able to make it to where I am now. The First Tee program isn’t just about golf for me, I’ve been influenced through the program to help me get through my problems on numerous occasions. I have enjoyed being able to experience the game of golf and leadership through this organization. Thanks to everyone involved!

How FTMA has impacted my life: The Core Values associated with the First Tee of Metro Atlanta have transformed my life!
