Personal Statement
my name is Isaih Ingram and i joined this program not only to get into college, but to make a better person out of myself and live a good life. there's many things i like to do but I love football, and feel that I can use this great sport to my advantage and have it help me get into a college so i can not only persue the education i want, but to add on to my football career and step up my game to a higher level of an athlete. I started playing this game when I was in third grade, and had a lot of fun on my journey as i made it up to the varsity level in high school. I look at football in a much bigger way than just a sport. it prepares you for life. it teaches a boy how to become a man and to truly take care of himself, not just in a physical way but in a mental way. football has made me a more dedicated and discipline person and have more courage and leadership. but i don't talk as a leader i just play and show it on the field. the reason why i love this sport so much is because it gives me something to be proud about and when i make a great play and hear the crowd go crazy i have the feeling that nothing can bring me down and that is a great feeling. i also play for my father who passed away when i was a child because every time someone who knew him runs into me in public they always say my dad wouldv'e loved to see me play and that right there is what gets my adrenalin going, to play with no fear for the other person on the other side of that ball. if you as a coach decided that you would want me to play on your football team, i promise to never let you down and go 100% on and off the field. i'm getting pumped up just typing this out but this is something that i want for myself really bad
