Personal Statement

        

“LOOK FOR TWO” IS A MOTTO THAT INSPIRES ME TO NOT SETTLE. IT'S A BASEBALL

PHRASE COINED BY MY PAPA JERRY THAT MEANS, DON’T STOP AT FIRST BASE. LOOK

TO GET TO SECOND. IN LIFE IT MEANS TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND.

I’M BLESSED TO HAVE BOTH MY PAPAS AS GREAT ROLE MODELS. MY PAPA JERRY

WORKED HARD TO BECOME FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT. MY PAPA JEFFREY CAN

BENCH AND SQUAT 500 POUNDS, WHICH IS MY ULTIMATE PHYSICAL GOAL. I KNOW IF I

FOLLOW THEIR WORK ETHIC, I CAN BE JUST LIKE THEM AND MORE.

I HAVE ENDURED A LOT IN MY 13 YEARS ON EARTH. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PTSD AT

THE TENDER AGE OF 3 YEARS OLD AND ADHD AT AGE 12. WHEN WE MOVED FROM

HAWAII TO TEXAS IN 2019, I WAS UPROOTED FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO I LOVE

AND MISS DEARLY EVEN NOW.

FOOTBALL HAS DEFINITELY HELPED ME TO CONQUER EACH HURDLE AND TO VIEW

THEM AS STEPPING STONES THAT WILL HELP ME BECOME THE BEST THAT I CAN BE.

I AM DETERMINED TO BE A FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT ATHLETE WHO CAN BENCH

AND SQUAT 500LBS. I WILL HELP OTHERS WORK TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS AS

WELL.

FOOTBALL IS MY CURRENT PLATFORM FOR THIS JOURNEY TOWARD FINANCIAL

FREEDOM. I KNOW THAT GOD HAS A JEREMIAH 29:11 PLAN- TO PROSPER ME FOR HIS

GOOD PURPOSES- FOR ME AND BEYOND ME.
