Personal Statement
My name is Alex Fernandez I am in my senior year at Oxford Area High School in Oxford, Pa. As of right now I am a 5’2” point guard who currently plays basketball and softball. My greatest assets in playing basketball is my understanding of the game my quickness, my excellent dribbling ability and tenacious defensive prowess who can run up and down the court at a high level.
Other asset includes communication skills, respect towards teammates and coaches also, my ability to assist teammates and put them in a position so they can succeed sometimes sacrificing my own personal numbers. I am very outgoing and easy to get along with. My personal strong points in life are setting goals for myself and achieving those specific goals.
One of my most important accomplishments in basketball was leading my CYO Basketball team to the district championship game and leading my team to victory and leading the tournament in scoring.
What I can offer to a team is leadership, leading my team on the right direction. As a point guard it is my job to run the floor and show accountability. In college it is my dream to play basketball and show individuals that even though I am of short of stature at this time I have many intangibles that can be used to help a team.
The type of school I am looking for will enhance my academic and athletic attributes so I can succeed at the highest level.
My interest at the present time is to major in Law/ communications and Media. The reason why I selected law is because I am a very good communicator that can argue facts. This relates a lot to basketball because this sport is all about communication and skill, and I feel if I put my communicative skills together I will make a great lawyer and leader.
My athletic goal is to pursue playing basketball. Basketball is a sport I have a strong passion for, and I feel I would do great. I want to be able to play and compete against the highest competition available.
My personal goal is to receive the best education possible and to apply my skills and knowledge in my every day life so that I can be a mentor to others.
