Personal Statement
My name is Garrett Burch. I live in Downingtown, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. I have grown up playing sports my whole life. I have played basketball, lacrosse, and football. I am a Junior at Downingtown East High School. I have played basketball and lacrosse during high school, but decided to focus on basketball. I joined AAU instead of playing lacrosse this year.
I am 6' 6", 205 lbs. I spend time in the weight room throughout the week. I am committed to putting work in in order to get bigger, stronger, and build my skills as a basketball player. My coaches say I'm strong, tough in the paint, and listen and do what they say.
Throughout my high school career, I have always put time into my studies in order to get a good education. I have put extra time and work into my Physics class and Pre-Calculus classes this year. I am maintaining a 3.5 GPA and have been on honor roll and high honor role many times.
I take my faith seriously. I am involved in my church youth group. I enjoy doing volunteer work that lends a helping hand to others in need.
