Personal Statement

I always loved basketball since a very young age. My dream since 2nd grade was to have the opportunity to play college basketball for the top schools throughout the country. I am a very athletic player with high basketball IQ, good dribbling skills, court vision, and scrappiness. Also, I’m a team player and a leader on and off the court, whether that is pushing my teammates in drills or motivating them to be better students. Furthermore, I am the hardest working player on the court and in the classroom by being the first person in the gym and the last one to leave while always making sure my homework is completed no matter what the circumstances are.

           In the classroom I’m an honor roll student and a leader in my community. I have a high GPA while taking challenging classes and playing another varsity sport. Also, I volunteer at basketball youth camps in the summer and volunteer during holidays to give back to the people who are in need. 

           I want to attend a college with a good environment that fits me. A college where I will have a successful basketball career and strong learning experience. I am open to all college levels and locations.
