Personal Statement
I have been a part of winning teams and losing teams, teams that have taught me, and teams that have helped me grow. All of these teams have helped me succeed in academics and athletics. I started off my basketball career at the bottom of the food chain; however, throughout my extensive years of playing I have grown physically and mentally, thus allowing me to become a more outgoing person and player.
Playing basketball has taught me a great deal about work ethic, persistence, and strength. I believe that all of these qualities have led me to be a better leader on the court and in the classroom. I have an impeccable work ethic, allowing me to stay ahead in all of my classes. The persistence that I have attained has helped me keep going through all the mental and physical blocks that I have come across. Celebrating the wins and learning from the losses has made me mentally tough. I strongly believe that all of these qualities and the ones I have yet to learn will set me apart.
