Personal Statement
It has always been a dream of mine to play a sport at the collegiate level. As a child, I’d watch college basketball games in awe. As I got older, I’d try to imitate the moves I saw the pro athletes do, whether it be in the park or in my games.
As I got older, I began to develop a stronger interest in football. I had played pop-warner as a child, but it had always been on the basketball court that I devoted my time. In high school I was talented enough to have played varsity basketball as a freshman, and start as a sophomore. But my passion for football never faded.
After transferring to a different high school my junior year, I decided to pursue my football dream. To my surprise, the transition was easy. I was immediately put on varsity and started a few games in only my first year.
I am now in a position where I am pursuing both sports. I am hopeful that I will have more success as a senior in football, and am preparing to continue my varsity success at a different high school this basketball season. As for college, I’m still undecided as to which sport I’ll play. I’m in an advantage position where I can weigh my options.
