Sophomore year hi...Personal Statement
I have been in love with the game of basketball my whole life. I worked my way from not being able to get on the court to being a starting varsity point guard. Having a coach who believes in me has made such a positive impact on my life, not just my game. That's what I want to do with the game of basketball and with my life. I plan to use my time in college to become a well-rounded person ready to make a positive impact on the world. My experiences growing up have led me to realize how much a caring person can make a positive impact on multiple people. I plan to play the game I love as long as I physically am able and to eventually become a coach.
