Personal Statement
My name is Tristen Conner, I am 16 years old and entering my senior year at Paradise High School. I would like to take a minute and tell you about me and my plans for my future. My college plan is to earn a agricultural business degree. While working on my degree, my academic ambition is to be successful in the classroom so that I earn my degree with honors. Being dyslexic, I have learned that it pays to work hard and keep trying. That, to be successful, you cannot be lazy and by accepting this challenge, I am now an A/B student.
A goal of mine has always been to play football at the collegiate level and win championships with my team. I would be an ideal candidate for your program because not only will I be committed to being a good student in the classroom but the best athlete I can be. There is always room for me to improve on getting stronger and faster and I am willing to do whatever it takes. I'm a quick learner and very coachable, helping me play different positions on both sides of the ball. Offensively, I played receiver and running back. Playing quarterback position was something new the coaches asked of me during my sophomore year. This was a position which I had no previous training for but took the challenge that was asked of me. On defense, I play outside linebacker. Along with football I play baseball and run track. I push myself to be mentally and physically tough in everything I do.
I strive every day to be a leader in and out of the classroom and on and off the field. I would appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your remarkable program.
