Personal Statement

I want to pursue business as my major in college and play for a D1 level college. I enjoy seeing new places and trying new things so I am open to attending school outside of the Midwest which is where I was born and raised for most of my life. I transferred to IMG Academy in January of 2017 and will graduate a semester early in December 2017. Living in Florida and being on a schedule that is just like a college schedule is helping me prepare for the transition from high school to college.  It is also making me more open to colleges further away from home.

I have been kicking 60 Field Goals since my sophomore year and my skill has only gotten better since being at IMG.  I am always setting new goals to beat so I am constantly improving and trying to get better and be better than other kickers. I don't like to lose and I want to be the best. I was raised by my mom most of my life. I have had several challenges within my family that could have been reasons to take the wrong path. I have used these moments to make me emotionally stronger. I have used kicking as a way to make me mentally stronger. I want to play for a team and coach who value my position and me as a person. My goal is to play in the NFL one day but if I am not able to achieve that I want a degree from a great school so I can get a job that will lead me to be financially successful as an adult.
