Personal Statement
I am the youngest of four brothers and competition is in our genetics. My oldest brother played at the collegiate level, but his career never went any further afterwards be either in sports or his degree. It has been my goal to go farther than what he could accomplish, with a degree in hand after. I am very dedicated and hard work towards what I want to achieve. I know with hard work, dedication and being coachable will help me be an asset to my team as well as my teammates, whatever sport I end up playing, or whatever college I end up signing with. I will give 110% everyday. I feel that the characteristic that makes me different is when the team is down I can always be there to pick my teammates up. It takes the TEAM to win.
My academics are also very good. I had all A's and 1 B in my freshman year of high school my GPA was 3.9.
