Personal Statement
Playing basketball has allowed me to establish life-long friendships and it is the source of my relentless, driven attitude. More importantly, it make me understand that having passion and satisfaction is essential in achieving true happiness. Regardless of the physical and emotional pain I have endured because of it, basketball brings me complete joy. And although they blemish my skin, I can not help but feel proud of my knee scars. What were once painful memories now serve as reminders of the obstacle I faced and of my own personal growth. I will continue to get stronger as I get older and wiser.
