Personal Statement
Hey coach my name is devin striewski I am a freshman,I play dl-long snapper and I’ve been playing football since 5 and my friends always told me I would be great,but I’m very interested in your program and I’m a hard working boy I just need help with my grades but they are getting better I promise but I weigh 285 bench 215 and squat 305 I’m 5’11. I live with my mom and brother and always wanted to help my family when I was little but I wrestle to so it helps a lot with my footwork,nose guard I ended the season with 25 tackles 4 sacks my gpa is pretty low but I’m working very hard on it I’ve had some health problems this year, I’ve kinda had a tragic life and just wanna show my mom and god that I will never let them down,my 40yard dash is 5.32 but just a little bit about myself I was born in Florida was raised by a single mom for a long time because my real dad didn’t want anything to do with me I really don’t know why but my mom didn’t tell me till I was 11 then I texted him trying to reach out and we talk a little but it’s not a son and father relationship,for the longest I always thought my step dad was my real dad and he taught me so much sports wise and how to be a man and was a great farther but there was a twist he was a alcoholic and some nights he would come home I would be sleeping and would literally physically abuse my mom many times and I wanted to do something about it but I was little and I couldn’t my mom left him many times then the last time the got back together he did it and I cried so much asking god why would he do this to me and my mom and brother,she left him for good and my life has changed so much I have to be the man of the house and be a great son and brother to my 8yr old brother it’s really stressful for me but I just have to show everyone that I am great and I can do anything,I just started a job for the city of st.petersburg and I work for a teen organization job which I make 11.15 a hour which im very thankful for me and I want to get my mom and brother the best life they can dream I just wanted to share that with you,I always used to get made fun of being fat or not being the pretty boy and I still do not as much but I do I just wanna show the haters what I can do in life.but my grades are not all that I have anxiety,ADHD,PTSD from the trauma I had in my life and it’s really bad for me to focus in school or do my work like I can do my work and I’m actually really smart I just need to have a goal I need to do great but that should never be an excuse but I just wanted to share this with you hope you have a blessed day hopefully I can get a chance to hear back from you!!
