Being the son of two teachers, college and academic growth has always been a plan for my future. Although school hasn't come easily to me, I have worked hard to maintain a 3.6 GPA. Because I have had to work hard to maintain my grades, I realize that's what you need to do in order to be successful in life. The hard work of maintaining my grades transfers onto the basketball court. I have put countless hours into perfecting my craft and look to start on varsity. Along with working hard on academics and on the court, I have achieved a 3.8 GPA in citizenship. I am proud of this accomplishment because it shows my ability to understand and get along with teachers and coaches.
