Personal Statement
My name is Autumn O. Rucker class of 2023 at Pike High School located in Indianapolis, IN. The current positions that I play in the world of women’s basketball is Small Forward and Power Forward. I was selected to the varsity team roster my sophomore year and now am playing varsity within my junior year. I bring to the sport of women’s basketball “The X Factor”. With positive energy, a sense of urgency, and positive mentorship towards my teammates, I am the game changer. My knowledge, skill, and ability to score and/or provide a tough defense makes me the ultimate key for a team’s success. Knowing that I'm capable of playing basketball in college/the next level makes me more passionate for the sport and is something I have been working towards to include improving my individual game which will allow improvement towards the overall team.
What I can offer to a team is the promise and dedication to always work hard and never give up. When it comes to choosing a school for my higher education journey, my options are open. I am open minded about colleges and hope to find a college that fits me best. I want to receive a good education and play basketball. At this time, I do not know what I want my area of study to be but am hopeful that I will pin something down by the end of this 2022 academic year.
