Personal Statement

I have always loved sports.  I started at the age of 3 with softball and have also played soccer, lacrosse, volleyball and basketball.  My passion for basketball started just a few years ago but I knew this was where I needed to stay and play.   Playing basketball has it's challenges because of my disability (see article below) but I overcome the challenge every time I get on the court and persevere.   My determination to be the best player and leader on the court is important to me.  I am an A & B student with great study skills and a desire to be a great student every day.  I think my tenacity on the court and in the classroom will be a great asset to your team.
