Personal Statement
I am a student athlete at Jefferson Community College looking to trasfer with now a 3.0 GPA. My grades has increased tremendously in college compared to my high school transcript(2.0GPA) and so have my skills on the court.I’m looking to play on a higher level of basketball and I’m willing to do anything that is necessary.The sport of basketball is something that motivates me every day from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of pursuing a career in the sport and I plan to fight through every obstacle to reach this goal by all positive means necessary. My plan to achieve this goal is maintain my determination, dedication, hard work, wisdom and heart. I believe these are some of the characteristics that individuals whom reach their highest potential have. These characteristics are driven by commitment, not only to the sport but to self. I continue to stay on task and focused throughout all my studies to receive the exceptional grades that I know I am capable of. I am a student-athlete and I believe "STUDENT" comes first because basketball is a privilege I earn through my academic accolades. Without favorable grades, basketball would not be an option for me because it would be unacceptable for my parents, my coach and I. I believe that even without basketball, being scholarly is what encourages me to commit to excellence throughout the school year.
