Personal Statement

Basketball has always been something I've been interested in. The desire to succeed is what keeps me going, day in and day out. Getting through life without basketball is unthinkable to me.

My commitment to the team, my ability to anticipate plays, and my collaborative spirit are the qualities my coaches praise most about me. At 16 years old, I'm already 6'2" feet tall and continue growing, so most people assume that basketball is a natural skill of mine. Maybe, but nothing beats my parents and trainers' daily routine of hundreds of exercises and hours spent in the gym.

One of my dreams is to play college basketball at the Division I level for a conference like the Pacific 12, Southeastern Conference, or Big East.
