Personal Statement
I am a 5' 7" senior, two sport athlete at Burrell High School that wants to play college basketball. I was part of the high school basketball team that made it to the WPIAL semi-finals and PIAA quarterfinals during the 2012-13 season. I have played AAU since I was in 5th grade. My main position is a shooting guard, but I also play point guard and small forward. I am a team player and I read the court very well. My dominant hand is my right hand, but my left hand has a high skill level also. I have a very accurate jump shot from both inside and outside the arc.
I am undecided on the size of school that I would like to attend and would like the school to be relatively close to my hometown, although I am open to all options. I am undecided on my major, but I am very interested in Physical Therapy and I also have an interest in Sports Management, Sports Marketing and Forensic Science.
I currently have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5. I am very focused on school as well as sports. I take multiple honors and AP classes. To succeed in sports, I believe you must be dedicated to your sport and maintaining good grades.
