Personal Statement

Hello.  I'd like to start by saying that I am more than an athlete.  I aspire to be a Coder/Computer Science major.  This has been my goal since I was in middle school.  I am a very hard worker and I don't give up easily.

What makes me a good candidate for a team is that I am a team player.  I am a social butterfly.   I enjoy team bonding with other friendly teammates.   Bonding makes the team play better together.  

What makes me different from other recruits is that I am a people person.  I'm very outgoing.  I can hold a conversation with my peers as well as adults about many topics.  I am a well-rounded and a well traveled individual.  And as far as academics go, that is my first priority always. So my main goal is to find a college that will offer me the best opportunity in education as well as sports.
