Personal Statement
Born with a competitive nature, I am always eager to take on a new challenge. Pushing yourself to the limits and back is not an easy task; however, there’s no better feeling than accomplishing a great feat and knowing first-hand that your hard work will pay off. I live for those moments, and I strongly believe you need the character, work-ethic, and pure will to get there. Playing basketball since first grade, and being a three-sport athlete since seventh grade, has turned these three qualities into habits that have shaped me into the player and student I am today.
I am looking for a program that will push me to succeed not only athletically, but academically as well. While being an athlete is a huge part of who I have become, the importance of a quality education is not lost to me. The education that I receive throughout my college years will have, perhaps, the greatest impact on the rest of my life. Balancing three sports, five clubs, rigorous classes, and volunteer work has tremendously prepared me for life at the next level. I believe that I have not only the athletic and academic talent, but also the determination, loyalty, and leadership skills to make an immediate and lasting impact on your team!
