Personal Statement

I have loved playing football since I was in the 3rd grade.  Football has given me and my family so many great memories over the many years.  It has taught me the value of teamwork, dedication and hard work.  I have been fortunate to be on many successful teams and have won multiple championships.  I am extremely competitive and love to win, but I have enjoyed the work done with my team the most.  I think there is something really special about working hard with a group all focused on one common goal of winning.  I take a lot of pride in being a good teammate and always want my coaches and team to know they can depend on me. I also try hard to set a good example on the field and in the classroom. I learned at a very young age, that there is always someone looking up to you or not as fortunate and that has helped me to not take opportunities for granted. 

I have a close group of friends with common values, but it is always nice to talk with and meet new people. It is also important to positively represent my family name each day. I have a younger brother and want to make sure I am setting a good example for him to follow.  We are active in our local church and also volunteer at several events each year.
