Personal Statement
I am looking forward to pursuing the field of biology or chemistry in college where it will challenge me academically. I have always been a self-starter and a hard-working A student, and I have taken several advanced classes in high school to prepare me to succeed at the next level. I also have been around basketball my entire life since I was born. My dad started coaching high school boys basketball when I was 3 months old, and I started playing basketball in 4th grade. That season I made the top local AAU team and we made it all the way to the AAU Div 1 National Championship. I learned a lot from that at an early age about how hard you have to work to become a great player and be a part of a great team. I have spent many hours since that time in the gym striving to be great. I believe my coaches and teammates would attest to me being very coachable and a great teammate who holds team goals above my own. It is very important for me to be a well-rounded player who also plays both sides of the floor. I am hoping to be challenged athletically where I can have a team that is my second family away from home at college. I believe I can help any college basketball team with my IQ, shooting ability and work ethic at the next level.
