jakari shepherd '21 Recruiting Profile

 Some people are talented in music and others in art. My talent however is being very competitive . For as long as I can remember football has been a great passion. Since the age of seven years old I discovered my talent as a athlete. I have learned how to work as a team and how to communicate well with others. Other then enhancing my people skills and my ability to work well with others, football has brought out a sense of leadership to my persona that has helped me excel in my school environment.  Every game that I play is a new challenge that I have to face and accomplish. I use the competitiveness I gained from football in my class room environments. The more I practice, the better I will become and all the hard work pays off in a victorious game. I implement the "practice makes perfect" philosophy to my school assignments and presentations.  In order for me to get better at English or Math or any other subject, I have to do my homework and study routinely because that is the practice I need and can than demonstrate how hard I practice in any exam I pass. football has been my motivation to be a better student because in order to be able to play at any school you have to be able to maintain a certain GPA which I have maintained and  passed.
