Personal Statement
I was introduced to the game of basketball at the age of 9 after watching my dad play. Upon entering Middle School I tried out for the Basketball team as a freshman and made the varsity team. In the 7th grade my passion for the sport increased exponentially as I played an intricate role in us becoming the Brooklyn Borough Champs. Upon entering High School yet again as a freshman I made the varsity team. As a Junior, a second year of a rebuild for my team and with a new head coach I earned the leadership role as Captain. I flourished in this new role by working hard on my personal game and our team game. I grew tremendously as an athlete by doubling my points per game as well as increased my assists and rebounds averages. I believe my ability as a versatile sharp shooter that can handle the ball along with a strong work ethic and excellent character will make a great impact on your program.
I will finish HS with an advanced diploma specifically achieving an 85+ on regents scores and completing Advanced Placement classes. Along with being an athlete, I have been a great influence on my school community as an executive member(VP) of the Junior class committee. I am planning to startup of a film club and a mentoring program in my school during my senior year.
