Personal Statement
As a high school student, my future is a wide open door of possibilities. As I think about my long-term goals, I know of no better way to start then combining my love for basketball with the opportunity to obtain a quality education at a top college. When I started playing travel basketball in third grade, I instantly loved the sport and knew I would throw my heart and soul into it, ultimately becoming a coachable, dedicated team player who is very passionate on the court. But even while practicing and playing year-round for my high school or for a club team, I have managed my time wisely - - studying hard while working part time. Being a student athlete, I will bring this work ethic to the college basketball court and the classroom, building a strong academic foundation while doing something that I enjoy and will continue to love in the future. I feel I would be a great candidate for your program.
