Personal Statement
While I did not start playing basketball until 7th grade as soon as I did I knew I was in love. Since I began playing basketball I knew without a doubt I wanted to play basketball in college, and possibly even professional after college. My love for the game and desire to play the sport after high school has driven me to work extremely hard. The improvement I have seen as a result of my hard work has only heightened my desire to play the sport for the rest of my life. I have went from a 2 ppg. bench warmer in middle school to over 12 ppg. as varsity starter in 5 years in a very competitive program. We won conference my freshman and sophomore year as well as advancing to the sectional finals in my freshman year.This improvement was only possible though my hard work and the people that have encouraged and helped me on the way. I will continue to work hard and undoubtedly these type of improvements will follow. You can see the same work ethic and improvement in my grades, I have went from a 3.7 gpa. freshman year to a 4.0 my junior year and this is purely due to my deciding to work hard and focus in school. I am able and plan to bring this same work hard mentality to any college I go to both academically and athletically.
