Personal Statement
My name is Richard Boateng 17 year old from pg county Maryland and football saved my life, playing this game gave me the fundamentals to to push harder in everything i do... school, work and overall... in life. Football isn’t just a game to me this sport helped me get through traumatic experiences, it has brought me brotherhoods, and mentors it’s been more than just a 60 minute game.Throughout my life I was never really consistent with anything, but I found football to be my first love, the first sport i found actual peace.
This game taught me to be the best student athlete on and off the field, it has paved new opportunities and new beginnings, it’s taught me patience through the toughest times. playing this game I learned to always get back on my feet what sets me apart from everyone else there could be 1000 other recruits but passion and love and staying humble through ups and downs will always triumph over just a kid with talent and negative attitudes. If you do the thing you love everyday then you’ll never hate it. I want to play at the highest level possible the sky is the limit and you will never see me give up
