Personal Statement
My passion in life has always been basketball. I follow the NBA and NCAA seasons, play NBA 2K16 basketball on my X-box, and read real life stories about basketball players. I play for the school’s Varsity team and started my Junior year. In the off-season, I play for AAU and summer leagues but I never stop there. I lift weights and practice shooting and drills suggested by my coaches every day. After school begins in the fall, I attend morning and evening open gyms with my team. This summer I plan on working with some of my teammates that have asked for my help to be better and I am looking forward to playing with what looks like a District Champion team in 2016.
As I am now a Junior in High School, I am looking forward to my future and my prospects for potential colleges. I would like to major in Finance with a minor in Business Management. Academically, my strengths are in mathematics so I know it will be a good fit. I know that the tools that I need to succeed in my career will be based on a quality education and my strong work ethic. I am exploring recruiting opportunities where I can hopefully add value to a team while attending a superior college or university to obtain that quality education.
I am a very easy-going person and I get along with just about everyone. I work extremely hard on things that I am passionate about. My coaches and family say that I am becoming the leader on my team and I enjoy helping others improve. I believe that I can add a lot of value to a basketball team but more importantly to the teams that I will be working with in my career.
