Personal Statement
My name is David Borges de Menezes I'm sixteen years old and I play for the Hazen Highlanders Varsity football team in Renton Washington. Confidence and Belief. That's who I am as a person, wether its my love for football or in my spare time for creating stories and drawing. I believe that is in my hands that brings joy for me, I also believe my hands could be used for good or for bad. I would also like to mention my father and my mother who have helped me gained confidence when I used to be bothered by others calling me skinny with long arms. They told me to let it go one ear and out the other worry only about yourself and work harder than anyone else. My skill sets are catching the ball at either the slot or outside position I am also a run after the catch player who likes to create space getting separation and gain 10 more yards. Defensively I am a shutdown corner I also like pressing and playing man coverage. The thing I love the most is when everyone plays for each other. I believe that it builds character and builds a better relationship with each and ever player on a team. and when the going gets tough thats where we rise back up. Because in life your going to get knocked down and continuously get knocked down, none of that matters as long as you get back up on your feet and chase victory and leave defeat behind you. I have dreams too. Dreams to play at the highest level of football, but I also realize to take one step at a time crawl before you can walk. my goals are not just to be recruited. But to start for whatever team and school I choose to attend to. Because I know I have to help my team out and do big things for them especially on the biggest stage thats where the confidence and the belief comes into the place, to ease myself to just do me and play every game like its my last and fight. Fight hard to help my team to victory.
