Personal Statement
I got a passion for this game when I was 3 watching my brother play and my Dad the head coach of the team. The next year I was old enough to play and I fell I love with everything about the game from playing to the brotherhood of teammates. As I got older and moved to school ball I had some adversity to overcome when my grandmother passed away then 18 months later my mother passed away. I was unsure at that time what I wanted to do. I walked away from the game but I never lost the passion to play. I returned this past year and have been working hard to get my life back and move forward with my goals of graduating and going to college to get my degree and play college ball. This is a goal I have set for myself. I have grown a lot over the past couple years and have a better understanding of how short life can be and I don’t want to waste any time in reaching my goals. I work hard I play with passion and this game is a big part of who I am. I hope one day to show young kids who have to go thru trying times when things look the worst that you can overcome and achieve your goals by knowing what you need to do and how to go about getting there. I not only want to reach my goals but to be a example to others that it can be done thru hard and dedication.
