Personal Statement
I am a 5'11 (continuing to grow) power/small forward at East Mecklenburg High School. Basketball has been my passion every since I was able to dribble a basketball. I eat, sleep and breathe basketball. I am dedicated both on and off the court. I put forth all of my being into International Baccalaureate (IB) program. I have been in IB classes since 4th grade. Balancing IB and basketball is challenging, however, I don't let obstacles stop me for striving to do what I need to do. I always push through and conquer. I'm always doing more than just practicing for basketball . After practice, I may go to the gym , run , or just work on things I that I need to improve on. I put forth so much effort to better myself because practice makes perfect . My hard work and efforts has led me to be chosen for the 4A Southwestern All Girls conference team. In addition, I was ranked #1 in blocks and #4 in rebounds in the same conference during my recent season (2014-2015)
I also participate in track and field and this has helped me with my vertical and speed on the court. Playing multiple sports has allowed me to increase stamina and become well rounded to each sport . Playing at the D1 level is what I strive for, however, I would be most grateful for any opportunity to extend my basketball career to all levels D1 thru D3 . My preferred school would include a good academic program as well as a good basketball program. I don’t want to end my career at high school level and would love the opportunity to continue at the college level and bring my talent, leadership, and enthusiasm of the game to a good program. This would be both a blessing and a huge experience to look forward to.
