Personal Statement
I'm Dieuvela GASPARD and I'll be 19 this year. I'm from Martinique a French island. Currently, I'm in my first year of college at "Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne" in France and I'm studying Management. I have my "baccalauréat" the French final exam in high school with the highest mention "Très bien" and my SAT score is 1120. Moreover, my TOEFL score is 91. I always wanted to study in the USA and to practice my passion at the same time. But, my family can't support me financially. So, I would need a scholarship for to do both. I've been playing tennis since I was seven. I've done some ITF juniors, 15000's ITF pro and mostly I played French tournament. For the moment my highest rank in the French ranking is 5/6. At the moment I'm playing tournament in France, so my ranking can still change. I love tennis and really want to be able to play it to the maximum. And only by being in an equip I can achieve that. In France it's not possible to both study and play tennis to the maximum. I played tennis all my life and I want to be able to still play it for a long time. I'm driven by my passion for tennis. And I want to succeed. I also bring news ways of seeing thing in tennis as well in life by the fact that I lived in the Caribbean but also in France. I wouldn't say that I'm unique because first who I am to know that, but, above all we all have similar aspects and different one. So I'm sure that me being in the team will bring something. And to the school also, with me being a model student so I would study hard and seriously to keep the scholarship.
Thank for your time.
