Personal Statement
My name is Zach Jakalski. I am a 6'4", 195 lb Junior from Fenton High School in Bensenville, IL. It has always been a dream of mine to play college sports, and ever since i started playing football, I knew that this is the sport i wanted to play. I play Basketball during the winter and Baseball during the spring. This spring, however, I will be participating in Track to work on my speed for the upcoming Football season. My GPA is a 3.8, 3.5 core GPA, and I am apart of the National Honor Society and have achieved Academic All-Conference in 4 seasons: Football (2), Basketball (1), & Baseball (1). My dream is to get into a college that suits both my academic and athletic abilities and allows me to strive as a person and as an athlete. Where ever I end up playing college football, I promise to give 110% and play with dignity, pride, and perseverance. "A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work" - Colin Powell. I believe that with determination, motivation, pride, and perserverence, anything can be accomplished. I am a great leader both on and off the field, being a leader in multiple sports, including 2 years as a varsity football captain, and off the field as I am an Eagle Scout. I hope to take all my past achievements and hard work allow me to make the most of my college football career. I hope to make an impact on any football program that I end up attending and will strive to make myself and the rest of my team better.
