Personal Statement
My parents have influenced me greatly throughout my life. They brought me up to believe that hard work will always pay off in the long run. Based on this fact, I know that I will get what I deserve based on what I put in. I believe this wholeheartedly. This goes for athletics as well as in school. Eventually all of the work that I put in will pay off. All of the long hard fought days in the gym and weight room will reap their rewards.
I want to continue to play basketball in college. 4 more years of playing the game that I love would mean the world to me. I want to go to a school that will not only allow me to continue my basketball career, but also allow me to get a higher education to eventually lead me to become a teacher. If there is a college that will allow me all of these opportunities, I would like nothing else other than to spend 4 years of my life being a part of that team.
