2014 Highlights
2014-15 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a very hard worker that is always looking for opportunities to improve myself academically, athletically, and personally. I enjoy competition, specifically basketball, because of the continuous challenge that it presents. I recognize that through sports I can, and will become a better person. I am very coachable and appreciate feedback that allows me to understand my weaknesses as a player and turn them into strengths through hard work, dedication, and practice. I have set a personnel goal that includes playing collegiate basketball at a university that can allow me to pursue a degree in the medical field. I am undecided on what degree I wish to pursue but one of my interests is physical therapy. I am always looking to help people and make the world a better place.
