Personal Statement
Basketball is my passion. I have been carrying a basketball around with me since I was two years old. I wear two pair of basketball shorts under my clothes to be prepared to play at any given time. Basketball allows me to be me and by that I mean I do not feel any pressure or have any worries when I am on the court. I feel at home on the court. Basketball is the only sport I play because I fell in love with basketball so much that I gave up the sport of football. My personal opinion was that my heart was not into football and I did not want to waste any more time on it if it was not something I wanted to do the rest of my life. From the student stand point I do take honor classes in Science and Literature. I take a regular math class and I take Advance placement social studies classes. Education is very important, and I want to graduate with an 3.5-3.7 GPA.
Some of my strongest character traits are leadership, optimism, and motivated. My character traits did not all come at once they came over the years and of me being molded by things throughout my life. Back to the basketball standpoint I am a great team player and i am also very coachable. My best leadership quality is that i am willing to go the extra mile to get the job done . I am willing to put the extra work in in the gym to be a winner. My work ethic is great each year I make it harder and better, but it can always get better and i have people around me to make sure I never stay stagnant. Even though I have people around me to push me to go hard and grind I am still self motivated because I want this for myself.
