2017 Highlights #4Personal Statement
I've been interested in basketball my whole life. I started playing officially in 4th grade. I've always wanted it to become a big part of my life, always dreamed of becoming one of the next big players. Constantly putting in the hard work and sweat to become better, I work at it everyday. I'm always looking to improve something in myself, always taking in advice and tips from people that are interested in helping me and people that want to see my dream come true. To me this is only the beginning, I'll be working constantly to achieve what I want from all of this. This path that I have choose for my life, is by far short or easy. It takes a lot of dedication and determination to be one of the top athletes, in academics and sports. I have that determination and dedication, always looking to improve myself. I'm looking forward to playing basketball in high school and college. As for academics, I want to major in Graphic Design. Future goal is to play for the NBA.
