Personal Statement
I have not had the easiest life. I was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at the early age of 3. I struggled throughout my entire educational career with trying to fit in. I have faced many challenges with academics, but not because I wasn't intelligent. I suffered from extreme anxiety due to being bullied from my ASD diagnosis. I didn't make it easy on myself, however, and I know I caused some of the negative attention I received. I am telling you this because I have grown SO much in the past 4 years. I currently hold a 3.6 GPA; have been on the Honor Roll all semesters of my high school career and am in the top 4% of my class. I decided to get back into football my senior year. I have the size and strength that many schools would love to have on their team. Now, I have the drive. I have pushed myself more than ever before and I am loving every minute of it. I know what I want and I am looking for the right school to see the potential i have in me.
