Personal Statement
My name is Ryan J Bridges. I am currently a Senior at Wheaton High School in Wheaton, MD where I am an honor roll student, a starting member and Captain of the Varsity basketball squad and a member of both the National Honor Society and the National Society for High School Scholars. My goals include graduating high school with honors in 2018 and being accepted into an elite university with plans of majoring in Biology and also playing basketball.
I have loved playing basketball all my life. I grew up with a saying, "Basketball if Life". I am persistent, coachable and determined. Whenever I am given a challenge, on or off the basketball court, is when I do my best. I am organized which helps me in my studies and in sports. I am a good listener and give good advice - which is why I am interested in majoring in Psychology in college. My parents have coached me and raised me with good values and a desire to work hard, stick to things and never quit. My faith in God helps me to stay encouraged.
Because of the characteristics and behaviors I have told you about, I am looking for a college where I can excel academically and contribute as a leader. I believe I would be a great candidate for a Division I, II or III college basketball team.
