Personal Statement
I have been playing basketball since I was eight years old and have always aspired to play basketball at the next level. I have been pushing myself, working hard, and putting my 100 percent effort into this game to try and reach my dreams. By furthering my basketball career I can also further my education and earn my degree.
My strengths on the court include three-point shooting, free throws, and a high basketball IQ. I also am a leader on the floor. I lead by example and also encourage my teammates to do their best. I always look for constructive criticism and ways to improve my game. I am very coachable and try to be the best teammate I can be.
Currently, I have a 3.2 GPA and have scored a 22 on my latest ACT. I try to challenge myself in academics by taking AP and advanced classes. Not only do I try my best on the court but also in my schoolwork. I am a part of student council and do community work outside of school.
In the end, I plan to attend the college that is meant for me. A college that will push me on the court, in the classroom, and make me into an overall better person. I am very open-minded when it comes to college and can't wait to see all the options and opportunity that are out there waiting for. I am ready to take the next step in my sports and academics.
