Personal Statement

Dear Colleges and Universities:

• During much of my youth football career, the wins came easy. However, the last two seasons have been difficult as my team has not won many games and former teammates have moved on to other schools or sports. But the one thing football has taught me is to never give up and don’t quit, even when the result isn’t what I want it to be.  These last few years have just made me want to work harder to reach my football goals. I am coachable and have the passion, desire and the ability to learn. Most of my youth experience has been at defensive end, 4th through ninth grade, but I played my first year as a defensive back this past season. I’ve spent the last year working with a private trainer to become the best defensive back I can be so I can add value to my team in hopes of making the rest of my high school football career memorable not only for myself, but for my football team as well.

• I am an AP/honors student at Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Georgia and also on my school’s track team. Getting a college education is very important to me and I am looking to major in Communication and/or Marketing. I am excited about my future, playing football and continuing my education at a school that can help me reach my full potential academically and athletically.
