Personal Statement

My name is Traivius Chappell, and throughout my life, my family has greatly influenced who I have become as a student-athlete and academic scholar.  I have always been taught to be the best I can be, set goals for my future, and stay on track.  I first became interested in football when I was seven years old and have had a passion for the sport every since then. From the start of playing on my school team in sixth grade to now, I've learned a lot about the plays,  how to become a successful receiver, how to be a team player and a leader.  My academic goals for high school and college is to maintain a 3.5 to 4.0 GPA and rank as high in my class as possible.  I plan on graduating with my Associate's Degree through the dual enrollment program and obtain my Bachelors Degree in college.  The obstacle that I have faced is financial situations, but I am blessed to have parents who do the most they can to support me so that I can see my dreams come true.  I am looking forward to this experience, and I am super-excited about any opportunities I can obtain.
