Values<br />
Jessica Loera is a junior on<br />
the Griffins girls golf team<br />
How’d you get started<br />
in golf?<br />
I started playing when I<br />
was about 10 years old. My<br />
dad really influenced me on<br />
playing because he started<br />
and he really wanted me to<br />
start playing. But I didn’t<br />
start taking it more serious<br />
until last year. I started taking<br />
lessons and really wanted<br />
to improve my game.<br />
What’s your favorite<br />
memory playing golf?<br />
My favorite memory is<br />
when I was in seventh grade,<br />
going into eighth, I was<br />
on the ninth hole at a golf<br />
course and I made a hole-inone.<br />
And I just started taking<br />
it a little more serious then,<br />
and I was really happy, and<br />
it just motivated me more to<br />
start playing more and really<br />
getting in to the game.<br />
I would probably save it or<br />
donate it to people who were<br />
in more need than me. But,<br />
if I would buy something, I<br />
probably buy stuff to make<br />
my education more important,<br />
and improve my education<br />
and improve my golf<br />
game. Spend it on lessons.<br />
Which do you think is<br />
better: your short game<br />
or long game?<br />
My short game is definitely<br />
better and consistent. I<br />
usually put it pretty close to<br />
the pin when I’m chipping or<br />
pitching from 100 yards in.<br />
What’s your spirit<br />
animal?<br />
It’s probably a dog because<br />
I make sure I stay<br />
loyal to everyone and kind.<br />
Dogs are usually pretty kind<br />
and friendly, and I feel like<br />
that’s closest to my personality.<br />
photo submitted<br />
kind of exotic pet, what<br />
would it be?<br />
An alpaca because they<br />
are very fluffy and loving<br />
and love to give kisses.<br />

What’s the hardest part<br />
of the game for you?<br />
Trying to stay consistent<br />
and focus the next shot, even<br />
after I’ve had a bad shot. I<br />
really have to make sure my<br />
mental game is always intact<br />
because that can sometimes<br />
get to me and I can have<br />
worse holes after I blow<br />
up once. But, I make sure I<br />
stay positive throughout my<br />
round.<br />
What would be the first<br />
thing you buy if you<br />
won the lottery?<br />
I don’t think I would<br />
necessarily buy anything.<br />
Have you given any<br />
thoughts to college yet?<br />
Yes, I have. I visited Texas<br />
A&M and I fell in love with<br />
that college, and it would be<br />
awesome if I could play golf<br />
there and have my education<br />
furthered there, also…<br />
I want to major in biomedical<br />
engineering or pediatric<br />
physical therapy.<br />
Including yourself, who<br />
would be in your dream<br />
four-some?<br />
Lexi Thompson, Rickie<br />
Fowler and Michelle Wie.<br />
If you could own any<br />
What’s a life lesson<br />
you’ve learned playing<br />
golf?<br />
Knowing what smart decisions<br />
to make. You always<br />
have to make smart decisions<br />
while playing because,<br />
if you don’t, you could always<br />
put yourself in more<br />
trouble than you’re already<br />
in. And just a lot of life lessons<br />
have been learned there<br />
because out of school you<br />
can make bad decisions, but<br />
playing golf, always make<br />
the right one, and you could<br />
put that toward your life.<br />
