Josh Wright '19 Recruiting Profile

A student athlete is seen at as a privilege for educators, and parents who think minimum of the offerings it has. It has been an amazing experience for me, the awards, the noticement/recognition. However, it has been very eventful and filled with stellar experiences. The learning, growing and strives I felt I have gone through this past year has been the biggest steps of improvement yet. We didn't reach the state tournament as we lost in the final seconds of the regional championship game. The all conference, all tourney and even MVP were nothing, because my mind was set on one thing and one thing only. The set back emotionally only made oneself which is i, stronger and smarter. Being a student athlete is not just a privilege, but a journey. It won't end here, but will continue throughout my entire life. I don't limit myself to anything, herizons expand and I don't see borders. I want to play at a school which pushes hard for student athletes. Being a student athlete isn't all what got me here.

My beliefs, and faith is what got me here. From a young age ball has been metaphically good for me. The court, as an escape of all of reality. My childhood wasn't normal, basketball was all I had. My parents sperated, drugs fluttered the air. So the basketball-escape metaphor was excellent for me, as it brought me at peace, that after awhile, the escape from reality will be nothing but real. All day and everyday basketball was there, for me physically and spiritually. It brought me where I am, taking college courses and a shelf with MVP awards. The cross across my chest is what did it for me. The lord showed me basketball as mercy from everything else.
