Personal Statement
My name is Christopher McLaren. I play right guard for the Hanahan Football team in Hanahan, South Carolina. We are a small school, with a big heart. I am a 6'6 380 lb blocking machine. My favorite play is inside hand off, even though we can do double team, I really like the one on one challenge of the play. I currently am in tutoring to bring my GPA up to a minimum of 3.0, but it is currently a 2.71. With aggressive studying and application of information learned, I am sure my goal will be achieved by the end of the school year.
In my determination to excel in life I have over came many challenges. I was diagnosed with Autism and Cerebral Palsy at an early age. I was never suppose to walk or talk, but with the help of my parents and many therapists I have done both. I now take that same determination into my academics and football.
I am looking forward to finding a college that can utilize my ability as a football player, my eagerness to excel on and off the field and help my teammates win the Division Championship. You can always count on me to show integrity, loyalty, and compassion for all members of staff and students while a member of your institution. I look forward to seeing you on the field.
