Personal Statement

My primary goal is to receive a robust education that will prepare me for success beyond athletics. I have witnessed firsthand the value of a college education through my parents, both of whom hold graduate degrees and work as public school teachers. Their education has greatly enriched our family’s life, and I am eager to continue this legacy. I aspire to create a stable and enriching environment for my future family, just as my parents have done for me.

Athletics also plays a crucial role in my life. I am passionate about being part of a team, and I believe collegiate athletics offer a unique and exhilarating experience. The camaraderie, the shared challenges and triumphs, and the personal growth that comes from facing adversity together are all aspects that draw me to this level of competition. I look forward to contributing to and learning from my team, embracing both successes and setbacks as opportunities for growth.

One attribute I take pride in is my willingness to take risks and embrace new challenges. For example, I began playing tackle football in high school, despite having only played flag football previously. This transition was daunting, but I approached it with determination and a readiness to learn. Through hard work, perseverance, and openness to feedback, I developed significantly and became a valuable member of the team.

Additionally, I am highly coachable. I recognize that improvement is an ongoing process and am always eager to learn and adapt. Whether it’s mastering new strategies, adjusting to different positions, or responding to various coaching styles, I am dedicated to absorbing knowledge and contributing to the team’s success in any role I am assigned.
