Personal Statement
I love the game of basketball. It is that simple- I have played the game since I was 5 years old , traveling with my older brother, an hour in the car on Saturday mornings, to the YMCA for the basketball program. I remember playing basketball at the Y, with all ages of children and simply playing because I loved the game. I still feel that way. I work very hard, I am dedicated to my sport and my academic success. I carry a 3.9 GPA, 4.2 weighted and all CP and AP courses to best prepare me for a degree in Elementary Education. I am also dedicated to my community and participate in various community service activities, I work parttime and I am a Varsity athlete in Cross Country, Volleyball and Softball as well as Basketball. Staying positive and having a great basketball IQ are important to me as well, I work with younger children and pass on my knowledge of the game, so that they can also enjoy a lifetime of athletics, just as I have. I would LOVE to play basketball at the next level, as a team Captain and All-conference player- I feel like I have a lot more to give and am looking for the opportunity to do so at the collegiate level.
