Personal Statement
As a little boy, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to watch my dad play basketball. At the time, he was at his prime of his game and was truly an amazing player. He was my inspiration to play the game of basketball. Without this game, I wouldn’t be who I am today on the court as a player and off the court as a person. I am a very hard worker and always work to get to my goals. I have met many types of people from either playing with or against them. This game has taught me integrity, dedication, commitment, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Whenever I have been in my lows of my life, basketball has always been there to pick me back up. My strengths on my game are my slashing ability, finishing at the rim, shooting the 3-ball, bringing intensity to both defense and offense and being a leader on and off the court. Away from basketball, my jumping ability is what gives me an advantage on the court. Academically, I want to pursue in Journalism, preferably Sports Journalism. I am seeking a college that will fufilll both my academic and athletic desires.
