Personal Statement
I started playing basketball at the age of nine with my friends through a community center league just for fun, I had no idea it would impact my life this much. For a long time, I have dreamed of finding a college that will let me continue my focused education, maintain a high GPA, and also let me continue playing the game. While playing basketball, not only have I made life long friends, but also learned a lot about myself. I've learned how to push myself and work hard to achieve goals, and also how to balance a student-athlete schedule. My academic goals for high school are to challenge myself with my class choices, and push myself to be the best student I can be. In college, I want to maintain that same mindset as well. As an athlete, I have quick, soft hands, a high basketball IQ, and deceiving quickness to block lots of shots. I would like to play at a collegiate level not only to challenge myself, and to continue playing a game, but to continue doing something I love.
