Personal Statement
My name is Destaney Grant and I am a sophomore at Buckhorn High School in New Market, Alabama. I have been playing basketball since the age of 8 and I knew from the first time I stepped on a court, that this game would become my life and that I would want to play it for as long as I could. I work everyday to reach my goal of one day playing college basketball at the highest level of my abilities. Of course there are many other athletes like myself with this same goal. In order to stand out it takes a strong leadership ability on and off the court, large work ethic, a coach able attitude, and the desire to be your best no matter what the sacrifice. These are characteristics in which I possess to make me a better basketball player. While basketball is a major focus, Academics will always be a top priority. In the classroom, I could be described as an "overachiever"and always wanting to do my best and not to settle. I've always been one of the top students in my class with good grades and character.
