Personal Statement
My name is Elijah Ward and I am the oldest out of my two other brothers. I think being the oldest kid in my family has a huge impact on my work ethic and my goals to be great at everything I do because I want to set a good example for my brothers. I became interested in football in the first grade, so the next year I decided to sign up. I loved the contact and aggression that went into playing the sport so I continued to play football every year after that. When I first joined I had no idea the impact it would have on my life. It taught me how to work with others, manage my time wisely, and fight to be the best at everything I do.
I would like to go to a school that provides an education and athletic program that will help me later in life when I get a job, whether it is in sports or any other career. I believe that I have the talent and drive to succeed at any program no matter how tough it might be. I am looking forward to the challenge, and I can't wait to be a student athlete in your program!
