Personal Statement
My goal is to attend a four-year college or university and major in sports communication. I currently attend Highland School in Warrenton, VA. I previously attended Briar Woods High School in Ashburn, VA but decided to reclassify and attend a college preparatory institution to better prepare me as a prospective student athlete. I think what sets me apart is my humble character and pleasant demeanor. I am often complimented by my peers and adults on my warm personality and “gentleman like” behavior. I also have the uncanny ability to blend in humor and energy which I am told gives me a great balance. On the athletic side, I have been blessed with great strength and size which I have really begun to appreciate and grow into. Over the years, I have developed great eyes on the court along with agile hands and feet which are great compliments to my size. I have always exhibited unselfishness on the court and strived to be a great team player. Even in moments of anguish and frustration, I have been told that I exhibit great composure and humility. Playing both basketball and baseball have helped me in building these attributes. In academics, as in athletics, I work hard and strive to do an be my best. I seek extra help from coaches, teachers and my parents. I currently am in honors English and am holding strong A's and B's in all my classes. I think the fact that I made a tough decision to leave my friends and teammates at Briarwoods to come to Highland and reclass shows that I am truly dedicated to doing whatever is feasibly necessary to invest in my future success; not only as an athlete but as a student as well. My parents stress the importance of education first before sports. Basketball is my vehicle to assist me in achieving the academic goals that I know I will help me to succeed in the future. Faith, family and commitment are strong values taught and enforced in my home. I know that I will be a compliment to any school and team as I am committed to giving my absolute best in my never-ending effort to become and be my best.
