The difference between me and other students is the alacrity of my perseverance and my ability to steer away from mediocrity. I never give up on anything I put my mind on. From schoolwork to football training, I find a way to get it done. I have what it takes to reach my goal and aspirations to attend a four year college, whether it be to partake in the transfer program or to go straight out of high school. I would be the first person in my family to attend a four year college, so this strengthens my effort and perseverance to do whatever it takes to attend one. Furthermore, my leadership skills differentiate me from my other competitors. I am a leader on and off the astro-turf. I have been in AVID for four years and that has helped me to understand how a leader acts and behaves and how to instruct others as well. I also was selected to a program called LINK, which is a part of leadership that helps to clarify what highschool is about and essentially provides moral or emotional support for incoming and current freshman. My perserverance and leadership qualities definitely give me an advantage over the next guy, which is why I am a great fit for your team and your school.
