Personal Statement
When I decided to play basketball I really felt like it was a genuine fit for me because I am enthusiastic and really enjoy being active. I aim high whenever I choose to complete a task. Striving to be at the top was always a priority for me; succeeding and making my game better was always important. Looking back, some of the key moments that made me enjoy this sport were the times where I have played on teams and won championships or divisional games. Seeing and feeling the excitement that wins bring as well as the disappointment with losses, where we need to work harder to win next time. Working hard alongside others, making bonds and getting the grit and determination to do better is what I strive for, the very thing I hope to achieve. My studies always tie into the sport, working to be better than average is always a first time commitment and I have always aimed to maintain a GPA over 3.5 because anything below that just doesn't cut it for me. I am a very competitive person and winning for me is essential in any case really; even something as simple as even a board game you will see me straining myself to win. Even though I like to win I know that there is always going to be a next time that will come and I will be better than before and win. Overall I feel that I will be best able to achieve my goals at a school where I will be challenged in both academics and basketball.
