Personal Statement
I am a six foot three point guard going into my senior year of basketball, but I do not plan to stop there. All the work I've put in for the sport is about to be revealed on the court, and although my team went undefeated last year and won the state championship, I have yet to settle. I am a very competitive athlete who loves everything about the game, and my dedication always comes back to improving my game. As a competitive athlete, and a competitive person, I look at what my brother has done in order to gauge what I want to do. He graduated this last year and is playing division two basketball at Merrimack, he won player of the year in our division, reached the 1000 point mark, and was part of two championships, and that competitive side of me wants to do better. I've grown up playing with my brother and I know that I am at the same level that he is on and hope to prove that through competition. At the same time, my life does not revolve around basketball. As a prospective film student, I know that college will be a busy time and I am looking at an education as well as a chance to play basketball. In the end, my decision will come down to the education I get, but there will be no doubt that recruiting and a chance to play basketball will play a role. However, no matter where I go I will be trying out for the team and looking for that chance to play the sport I love.
