Personal Statement
Ever since I was child growing up in Brazil, I wanted to be different from the other kids. I wanted to play basketball instead of soccer. Making the big decision of moving away from my family, at the age of 15, to pursue my goal of playing basketball at the collegiate level has taught me many things. I have had to grow up a little earlier than most teenagers and assume more responsibilities and take things more seriously. I can score the ball very well and can also pass the ball very well. I would be a good fit for your program because I am coachable, smart, and a hard worker. I hope that you can find interest in me.
