Personal Statement
Hi, my name is David Miles Jr. I am a very athletic individual. I started playing sports at a very young age. I have played on several basketball, baseball and football recreation teams. During middle school I played basketball and tennis. I am a dependable and coachable athlete. All of my coaches say that I listen and do what is asked of me. I am a quiet individual that plays team ball. I do not feel, I need to showboat or be a ballhog to be recognized. I believe my demeanor and talent will speak for itself. I started running track as a ninth grader at Williams High School.
I excel in the classroom both academically and in character. I have always made above average grades in school. I believe it is essential to be in class to learn. I am one of four individuals in a class of 300 students to receive perfect attendance for three consecutive years.
As a junior at Williams High School, I am currently playing basketball and running indoor and outdoor track. I have participated in outdoor track for the past two years. It is my new love! My times have improved each year. During the outdoor season I participate in the 200m, 400m, 4X200 relay (third leg) and 4X400 relay (anchor leg). This will be my first year competing in indoor track. I am excited about running the 300m, 500m and 4X200 relay. Last summer I ran with the Durham Striders Track Club. It was an amazing experience. I have not decided which college I would like to attend however I am leaning towards studying to become an engineer.
