Personal Statement
My goal is first of all getting recruited, then acquiring scholarships to help out financially. I want to use these opportunities, along with hard work to get to the highest possible level I can reach in basketball, and in my academics. With regards to basketball, my goal is make it as far as a professional league, and with my academics I want to earn a degree. If University becomes the highest level I can play basketball at, I want to have the ability to use the degree I have earned as evidence of a higher level of education, to get a job, and sustain myself.
I am a very hard working student athlete on and off the court. Basketball has been a part of my life since i was 9 years old. It is what I spend a lot of my time thinking about, and has become my passion. My journey in basketball has allowed me to become the person I am today. It has taught me lessons about my mindset, my decision making, my actions, and even the words I speak, and the people I keep around me. It has allowed me to become part of a collective, and revealed to me the level that I desire to reach. Basketball is the part of my life that has pushed me to strive for excellence on the court, and in the classroom. It has forced me to understand that I can never will be satisfied with the level I am currently at, because there is always room for improvement.
