I have been playing basketball since third grade and I have been in love with the sport ever since. I have overcome a lot of adversity throughout my playing career and I have become stronger as a result. My desire to continue my basketball career in college stems from my love for the sport and what it adds to my life, especially in terms of the lessons I have learned from playing; most of which I apply to my life everyday. Basketball has taught me that anything can be accomplished with a strong work ethic and resilience, and I hope to keep growing and learning at the next level.
