Personal Statement

Hi my name is Josiah Tisdale I am 6’0 310 Offensive Guard from Orlando Florida. I have a 3.0 GPA and currently taking honors classes.

I would like to attend an institution where I could make an impact on the team athletically.  I would prefer to attend an institution close to family and and a place where it feels like home.  I see myself at a D1 or D2 medium sized university or even an HBCU.  I hope to attend an institution with a with a great college atmosphere. I do not see myself going to far up north or out west. 

Financial assistance is going to very important to me in the college selection process since my family will have high need.  I am devoted to the game and I know have studied the game very well. I determined to do my best at my desired school. 

A major I’ve been looking into is Culinary Management, Hospitality Management or Business Management.  I would just love to make a good impact on the team and set an example good for my family.  Knowing, that I gave it my all and being competitive would make me feel accomplished and proud of myself.  

I personally would like to know what are the expected goals for your student athlete? Then, finally are the school building a repour with the local police to help create unity and not division?   

I choose interest in your college because student to teacher ratio is an acceptable level for a learning environment for myself.  Also, while researching your college the pictures of the campus are very beautiful and hopefully I will one day be able to see and tour the campus environment. 

Lastly, I pride myself on the motto, "failure is not an option, go get it Josiah". 

Thanks for your time.
