Personal Statement
I have loved basketball from the time I first played in elementary school. I've gotten better every year that I've played and last year I was voted "Most Improved" on my team. This year I'm even better and I think my best basketball is yet to come. My mom was an Olympian and my sister finished college on a track scholarship so I've got speed in my genes. Despite my height, my jumping ability defies gravity and I've been known to block shots and rebound against 6' plus opponents. I have exceptional ball handling skills, and once hit six 3-pointers in a single game. Although I can score, I play very unselfishly and enjoy the game most when I can get my teammates involved.
My mom, dad, and sister have six degrees between them and now it's my turn. I'm a late bloomer, have matured a lot in the last year, and last trimester my GPA was 3.0. I'm going to college no matter what, and to play basketball simultaneously would be a dream come true.
