Personal Statement
In elementary school, I took many opportunities to involve myself in different sports such as figure skating and later on summer basketball. Once I got to middle school, I played a variety of different sports including basketball and volleyball in the winter season. I eventually decided to play basketball in high school. I made this choice because I had devoted many years to developing my skills and grew to love the sport. My JV coach groomed me as a point guard which lead to me being selected for varsity my sophomore year.
During that year, I became the starting point guard and learned valuable skills including teamwork, leadership, creating scoring opportunities for others, communication, and determination. For the first time in several years, our team made sectional playoffs, an achievement we continued the following year. I look forward to further developing my skills in my senior year as well as through AAU tournament play. I am confident that I'll bring a strong skill set and dedication to whatever college team I play for while advancing my education in mathematics and physical science.
