The qualities that I have developed through playing basketball will help me in my career. I am a team leader and have developed working relationships on and off the court. I enjoy the comradery of basketball and the teamwork required. I have developed communication skills and know the importance of working hard to achieve my goals. I study hard, practice hard, and play hard. If I do not succeed in reaching my goal, I study harder, practice harder, and play harder. Belief in myself has given me confidence to aggressively play both defense and offense. I hope to be able to play basketball in college as well.
