Personal Statement
I plan on getting my doctorate to pursue a career either as Forensic Anthropologist or Medical Examiner. I have played basketball basically since I could walk and have always loved the sport. While I don't always get as much playing time as I would like, I always make sure that I show up to practice mentally and work hard to better myself and my team as a whole. My coach has always emphasized being mentally tough as basketball doesn't always come down to who has the most talent, but to who will work hard and continue playing even when fatigued. This mental toughness he has instilled in me has made me better not just in basketball but in my studies and just life in general. I hadn't originally planned on playing at the collegiate level, but coming into senior year I realize that I don't want to give up this sport if I can help it.
