Personal Statement
My parents are the reason for who I am today. Both of my parents loved the game of basketball and played the sport. I have grown up knowing and loving basketball ever since I was a little girl starting at Upward. Upward was the start of my love for the game and also gave me a strong foundation in my faith as a Christian.
Through basketball I have learned to be a good teammate and a leader by setting a good example on and off the court. My basketball IQ, court awareness, and my ability to guard anyone on the court has separated me from many of my peers. Basketball has also taught me to keep my emotions in line and focus on what's important.
My passion to excel in the classroom is just as strong as my passion to excel on the court. I have high goals and expectations for myself so I can earn the job I have always wanted; which is to become a veterinarian.
