Personal Statement

Hi, my name is Walter Darnell Manning Jr. I am currently a junior in high school. I fell in love with football at the age of 6, watching the NFL games as I were younger always made me excited to stay in front of the television as every play went by. The love and passion pushed me to be just as excited as I am today. I played i9 sports for a while then middle flag football. I then transferred to Everglades High School and is continuing to play there... Besides football I am a big family person, I love being around my family, I enjoy family time. I have an older sister named Aiyana and a younger brother named Tyler. I volunteer at Boys and Girls Club durning the winter, and spring. I also volunteer for my brothers Saturday games at PPO. I am in (MOT) Men Of Tomorrow which is an outside club from school. Inside school I am in the Key Club, and (BSU) Black Student Union. My goals in life is to feed my family, I do this for myself and them... I'd love to see them happy because I made it. I am very determined at what I do. In academics I make sure I am getting my homework done. My education is more important to me than football... I'd rather be smart with the ball in my hand. As I continue high school my GPA will continue to grow as it already is. When it comes to athletics I know I am top tier because of my dedication. I never skip practice, Im always with my trainer outside of practice and in and out of the gym.
