Personal Statement
My aspirations and goals in college is to finish my degree in either Biology or Accounting, as I like both of them. I believe that I am a self motivated, focused, tenacious, and intelligent individual who believes that what ever the "mind can conceive, the body can achieve." I have achieved a 3.8 GPA since I have been in Elementary School. I consider myself a fast learner and dedicated to my goals with an effort seen only in very few people.
My goal is to go to a college that can offer a good education and a good solid football program that matches me on a personal level and on a professional level. I have always been in sports, since the age of six years old, competing in either track, soccer, or football. Now that I just turned fifteen years old, and grown to an acceptable height of 6'2" I can now concentrate on my favorite position in football, a quarterback. I have admired my father's participation as a High School quarterback in El Paso, and I would like to continue the tradition by not only serving my high school, but taking it to the next level in collegiate sports.
The love for football has always been a illogical conundrum for me until recently. I have always loved the sport. My football career started in a peewee league football team when I was 8 years old. Before this, I was competing in the field of tract at the young age of 6 years old. While playing football, I had obtained an injury to my left elbow ending my season and moving the sport of soccer. While in soccer, I could only think about playing quarterback in a football team. Soon after, I joined my junior high school football team playing a linebacker in defense, since that was the only position available for me to play. But that was okay with me as long as I got the opportunity to play the sport.
In 9th grade I joined multiple football training academies in order to help me in my current position as a quarterback. In addition, I have been coached by my father who was a quarterback in high school as well. Until recently, I found out why I love the sport so much. It turns out that I was a 2-foot premature infant in January 2004, finding myself in the neonatal intensive care unit for 2 months. While in the hospital, it turns out that the neonatologist was an avid football fan who listened loudly to the playoffs while on the medical floor. This intense exposure of football at such a young age must have sunk into my subconscious impressing on me to love the sport.
