Justin Counts Mid...JUSTIN COUNTS SEN...Personal Statement
Hard Work, being persistent, achieving above my goals, exceeding my own expectations, staying focused, being committed, being honest, staying on track, this is what I am, Justin Counts. I love the sport, the rivalry and the team spirit of FOOTBALL. I want to be at college doing something I love. I work hard and I am loyal teammate, I am easy going and I am a leader. My character is strong, I speak my mind, I always make sure I speak up for myself. I work hard at my position as a Defensive End, I used to play cornerback for at least 5 years, one day during practice coach told everyone to go to their position spots and I had a gut feeling to go with the D line, they put me as DE, and ever since then I love the position and I have been doing great. My coaches believe that I found my spot. I am the first one in the gym and the last one out, I push hard to work out, I continue to get stronger and work on my weakness so they are no longer part of me. I feel that academics are part of what I am working harder on to be a better student, I work hard to study so that my grades continue to get better.
I feel that I have what it takes to be part of a team that works hard together to succeed. Thanks for your consideration.
Justin
