Personal Statement
I am interested in marine biology or oceanography. My passion for basketball began at an early age. I have been involved in organized basketball since the first grade. I played AAU basketball for seven years, and have played on my school’s team since the sixth grade. I have a good moral character, and I have a great work ethic both on the court and in the classroom. I have taken or will take all of the AP classes that are available to me. I have been class president for the past 3 years. These achievements demonstrate not only my desire to excel academically but also my leadership skills. I am a team player, and the team’s success is far more important to me than personal statistics. I am always looking to make myself better, whether it is putting in more work on the floor or taking harder classes so I may excel in school. My desire is to attend a college where I can continue my growth as an academic athlete.
