As an aspiring athlete, I understand the commitment and responsibility it takes to make it to the next level. I am very fortunate to have the resources necessary for me to succeed and am willing to do what it takes to maximize my potential. My upbringing has helped me develop traits of responsibility, respect, and honesty, which I always will bring with me wherever I go. Even if I have athletic success, academics will always come with it. I've been drilled with the fact that academics are the road to success, and I will keep on being the best student I can be for the future.
