Personal Statement
Basketball has taught me to overcome obstacles as well as how to be very disciplined. It’s not easy to put in the work every day, but basketball is what I love to do, sparked as a 5-year-old doing NBA halftime shows. I demonstrate that love on the court through consistently giving maximum effort, pushing myself as well as my teammates. I also push myself in the classroom and in AP and honors classes, earning Honors with Distinction, a 4.4 GPA (on a 4.0) scale, a 1550 SAT and 35 ACT scores. Additionally, I take on extracurricular leadership roles.
As a high-academic, strong shooter who also has a knack for getting to the rim as well as making hustle plays, I can contribute on both sides of the ball and play hard to help a college team. Basketball is a part of my identity, and I am very passionate about wanting to play at the next level. I am seeking an opportunity to play basketball at a college where I can also prepare for the next challenge, which is ultimately to earn an JD/MBA.
