Personal Statement
Throughout my time playing basketball i have been taught more about life skills than I could have ever imagined. Basketball has taught me patience, communication, and most importantly mental toughness. Theses skills now help me in the class room everyday and will later help me when i am an English teacher in the near future. I am so thankful to be surrounded by coaches and teammates that will help me out in any situation on and off the court. I later hope , after college, to educate students not only in the class room but on the court and show them that basketball can be a gateway to many amazing opportunities such as the ones that have been presented to me.
