Personal Statement
I am a 6'4 small forward from Montclair, CA. As a freshman, I started on the Junior Varsity team. At the end of my 9th grade year, I earned an award for being a scholar athlete as well as offensive player of the year. Over the last two years I have started on the Varsity team and have been recognized as 1st team all-league, earned two tournament MVP awards as well as another offensive player of the year title. In addition to playing at Montclair High School, I play with an AAU club basketball organization called Prodigy Elite Basketball Club. I have been playing for this esteemed program since middle school, and will be returning as a 17u elite player this spring. I currently have a 3.0 GPA but intend to continue to work hard in the classroom to improve and I am planning on taking my SAT and ACT exams in March.
Ideally, I will find the right college that will provide me with the opportunity to continue to learn both in the classroom and on the court. It has been a dream of mine to play college basketball, and I am not afraid to work hard to accomplish my goals. I am looking for a program that will build upon my strengths and allow me to make a positive impact on the team. I will be the first in my family to go off to college and play sports. Although I have not narrowed down my desired major, but I know that I am open to playing at the DI, DII, DIII or NAIA level.
