Personal Statement
My name is Cade Powers. I am 18 and will be a senior this fall at Valley City High School.
I participate in football, wrestling, track, choir, theatre and weightlifting at my school. I live on a farm north of Valley City where I help my dad and older brother on our 5 generation farm. I operate my own business, Cade's Corn, where I raise sweet corn which
I sell to businesses and families in the Valley City area. Working on the farm has taught me
the importance of self discipline, working together, accountability and getting things done.
My goal is to play college football and complete a degree in history education with a minor in agriculture education.
After college, I plan to find a teaching job, which may allow me to return to the farm during the summer to help my family.
What makes me a good candidate for college athletics? I love playing football. I am able to learn new skills quickly and polish those skills I have with daily repetition. I am driven to outwork anyone.
I have the learned the importance of being accountable to myself and others. I am a leader on and off the field, believing that the ability to set the tone of positivity is important in every situation. What is best for the team always comes before what is best for me.
