Personal Statement
I am a strong, determined, goal driven, football player and person, I set goals and I work hard to achieve them but I do know and have faced the fact that not always do our plans work the way we originally planned for them to, so I do have my plans B and plans C. I have played football since I was in 1st grade as it has always been my dream since I saw my brother play, I am strong and determined player that has the power behind me, I can break through a line and get the yardage needed if not full in on a touchdown, I have also been able to stop an advancement, I take great pride in the school I hold and carry that ball for. As of right now my speed is 4.2 what I lack in speed I make up for in strength and power, I bench 220 and squat 335. In the first game of the Senior season I ran 107 rushing yards for 2 TD and 2 Assists. I had a total of 337 rushing yards ( for some reason Coach stopped putting me in, it was not understandable to me and he kept saying he meant to but did not), so I never really got to play much in High School but I do not believe it was from lack of my playing ability, Coaches continued to tell me to keep going for my dream and not give up for any reason. I am a very good player and I know how to get yards a long with touch downs, I will be an asset to any team that will give me the chance to play for them while I get my education, I just need to be given the opportunity to show what I got.
I am different than most players because I know what hard work is and I am humble, I do not ever think I am owed anything because I know to get what you want you have to work hard with your goals in sight and doing what is necessary to work to get there. Making it to a college team does not mean I will not have to work hard anymore it means I have to just as hard if not harder. I never had things handed to me as I was taught that people that just get everything they want just handed to them never understand the feeling of working for what you want, and feeling the enormous amount of pride to know that you did it and to keep the ability to continue to work and work hard. My mom and siblings have been my number 1 fans and they keep my motivation up, as I worked hard to get to this point that I can finally transfer to D1 College I understand that the work has just only began and will continue to work just as hard as I did in the beginning if not harder.
