I want to attend a college that helps me to develop as a scholar and an athlete, ultimately becoming a man who is capable of building a business that can support my family and building a life that helps me to serve the broader community as a coach and mentor to others. As an adopted child and naturalized US citizen from Guatemala, I have been very fortunate to be surrounded by family, friends, coaches and teachers who have given of their time and talent to make a big difference in my life. They are one big extended family to me. Given my background, I don’t take that for granted and I want to develop as a person, scholar and athlete who can help others as I have been helped. I look to continue my development in college, adding friends, team mates, coaches and teachers to my extended family and learning the skills and gaining the experiences necessary in the classroom and on the athletic field to support and to serve my extended family and the broader community.
