Personal Statement

My collegiate goals are to be able to play football at a higher level. I want to continue to play the game I love and be able to compete against a higher level of competition. I hope to prove myself in college and prove that I can play football at a higher level. I am a good candidate for any team because I am humble, modest, and hard-working. I am a good fit for any team because I am respectful. Especially coming from Hawaii, I treat everyone with respect and I always listen to my coaches. Even as a senior this year, I listened to all my coaches all year, asked questions when I had, and respected all of them. I am different from other recruits because I will put in all my work in the dark. I will never brag or complain about early morning workouts or two-a-days. I am different from other recruits because I will never tell anyone or post about the work I'm trying to put in. My character is different from other recruits because I come in with the mindset that I don't know enough and that I can always learn. I never feel like I am the best so I always have something to learn. I come in with the mindset that there is always someone better than me and that I can learn from them. My academics is also very different from other recruits because I take pride in my grades. I have always worked hard since freshman year in order to keep my grades up for colleges. Now, I have a 4.0 and I hope that it can provide more opportunities for me as a recruit. I hope to be able to play football in college with a great team and school that can fit both my academic and athletic goals.
