Personal Statement
My name is Elijah Pepper, class of 2019. Basketball runs through my veins. My dad and uncle both had an opportunity to play professional basketball in Australia for 7 years after graduating from college. This is my dream and having professional players in my family has helped me gain a different persective on basketball and learn the intricacies and often overlooked aspects of the game. I play with passion, tenacity and am hungry for success. My goal is to get a college degree of my choice and achieve my goal of playing basketball along the way, just like my dad and uncle. I strive to be a great team player, leader and role model and give nothing less than 100% in everything I do. I want to be the best that I can be and know that I have a lot to learn, but also have alot to offer as a team mate and player. I always give my all to be the best that I can be on and off the court. I truly believe that I have what it takes to become an asset to a college basketball team and school as an athlete and student.
