Personal Statement
Hi I’m Benjamin, I'm currently in the 12th grade and look to push my game into the next level. I play almost every position on my highschool team but my abilities shine the most at the small foward position due to my ability to score off the dribble. My game has pieces of everything but I tend focus on my defense, wanting to be everywhere on the court. I can shoot from the mid, in but if I had to shoot from outside im pretty accurate from three but being usually at the freethrow line down I get the majority of my points off layups getting there off of my own dribble, but at the moment I am 77% from the freethrow line and I shot at it more than 23 times throughout my season. As of right now I am also captain of the varsity team also.
Moreover, regarding my schooling aspect, although I have listed a 2.0 gpa, I have been working very hard this school year, ending my first semester with three A's three B's and one C. I raised my gpa to a 2.0 recently from a 1.8. I realized that I messed up my freshman and sophmore year and I push to improve my grades, because I know to take my game to the next level I must have the grades to do so. An academic accomplishment that I received this year was an award for outstanding performance in social studies. During this time period I am listed in 2 clubs that my schools offer being SSBTR and Inspire Az. When I'm not playing basketball or at school I usually spend the rest of my time working at Rubio’s Coastal grill as a cook, which I've been working in for about a year and a half.
