Personal Statement
I consider myself to be a student-athlete. Academics are very important to me. I work hard on and off the court because I know that both have a big influence on my future. Basketball has been important to me since I was young. I work hours at trying to become better. Working hard does not scare me and I believe it is what it takes to get to the next level. I am a team player and will do anything I can do help my teammates succeed. Honesty, integrity, loyalty, and hard-work are character qualities that I feel are necessary for me to have as well as others. I feel like I am a great teammate and team player and would help any team. While I do want to do well and push myself to do the best I can do, I don't put myself above other people. I consider my team like a unit - it's not just about me. It's about the team so my focus isn't just about what I can do for me, but what I can do for my teammates. In addition, I am still growing and have been projected, by two different doctors, to be 6'11".
