Personal Statement
my name is Raoual and i started playing basketball in middle school along with football and track with my friends just for fun and by 9th grade year i started to take it very seriously and put effort, time and dedicate my life to it so that summer i decided to use that off season to train and get better and ever since the summer time is what i spend most of my time doing trying to improve my game. Sophomore year i decided to transfer high schools to try challenge myself and take on higher competition and my JV year was fantastic i met a lot of new people and created great chemistry with my new teammates. junior year was really rough for me because it was my first year playing varsity and i did not see the floor so my confidence and motivation went down and but instead of going back to my old school i decided to stay for my senior year because i felt like i still had something to prove and i trained my tail off every day not only to prove people but to also prove myself. my goal is attend college close to home and play basketball all 4 years graduate with a degree in sports medicine and also id like to expand my game to become a better player and actually learn the game and go even further and i'd think i can be a fit for any program because of my work ethic on and off the court and that is what also makes me different from other athletes is my passion for being coached, learning something and working hard at it to see progress
