Personal Statement
I am a good nominee for collegiate athletics because I consider myself to be a hard worker, a leader, and I take school very seriously. In 8th grade, I really took the sport for granted and started failing most of my classes because I was unfocused. I began to ponder about the aspects of life and whether I wanted to do school anymore. I finally realized that I was a Student Athlete and not an Athlete Student. I was certainly determined to try my best and do my school work in my best mental state. I am a hard worker in sports and academics but I had to overcome the ideology of failure in order to do so.
