Personal Statement
Greetings,
Im Lonnell McCall II. I currently reside in Jacksonville, Fl with both my parents. Im a 3 sport athlete and carry 3.3 GPA. What makes me different? What makes me a great for your program? First off, my Dad is retired Military, so Ive been raised with the discipline background. Growing up, there were rules and regulations for everything I did and consequences for the wrong. The one thing that my parents taught me is, "Nothing is ever given, its Earned." I put that statement in front of every task I come across. Especially my classwork and athletics. Im the kid that pushes himself when no one is looking. Im the kid that willing to accept the fault, even when it doesnt fall directly on my shoulders. Im the kid, that gonna look the opponent directly in their eyes and let them know that Im coming after you, play after play until the whistle blows or that clock has four zeros on the board. Im relentless and I dont know how to give up. Im that kid that doesnt mind getting grimy and dirty when the sun dont shine. So Im asking you, how do I earn an opportunity to wear your colors? Fight with you between the lines and most of all in the classrooms? I know I have what it takes. How do I earn the opportunity to earn your trust?
