Personal Statement
My name is Emily Theobald. I am a junior power forward and captain on my varsity basketball team, the Honesdale Lady Hornets. Along with playing as a power forward, I also play as a small forward, center, and shooting guard. I have been playing organized basketball since third grade, I have played on various AAU teams since seventh grade, and I would love to continue my basketball career in college.
In high school, I am ranked 7th out of 204 with a 4.24 GPA. My education always comes first, and I have been, and am currently enrolled in several Honors and Advanced Placement courses. Currently, I am taking some of my courses as Dual Enrollment for college credits through two local colleges. Before the end of May, I will be inducted into the National Honor Society.
In addition to sports, and academics, I am involved in various community service activities. I am currently the Vice President of both the Junior Rotary (Interact Club) at Honesdale High School and my youth group, St. John's Youth Group. I am also a varsity starter on my soccer team and was a sprinter on my school's Track and Field team.
I am looking for a college or university that has an Elementary Education major where I will be able to play basketball and where I will receive an excellent education.
