Personal Statement
If I had to sum up my character in one word, it would be 'Determined'. I have very high aspirations for myself and I am willing to put in the hard work that it will take to achieve my goals. Through dedication and persistence, I have been able to maintain honor roll status since my freshman year in high school while taking honors classes. I take great pride in this accomplishment because I've done so while also actively participating in dual sports. I’ve played basketball and football across multiple organizations since the 5th grade. I am a true 'student athlete' with natural leadership skills.
While I'm extremely passionate about sports, I realize that applying myself academically is my primary job at this stage in my life and I fully intend to pursue higher education beyond high school. I believe that I have been blessed with natural athletic ability and would love the opportunity to showcase my talent at the collegiate level.
With regard to character, here are some of the words that past teachers/coaches have used to describe me: smart, talented, natural athlete, quick, dedicated, leader, positive role model, professional, great work ethic, and collaborative. I realize that there is so much more to learn at the collegiate level. I am very determined to reach my highest potential.
