Personal Statement

    I’ve grown up in a Christian family that promoted me to be active in my school and community.  I enjoy being a role model to those in my community and taking an active part to give back. My parents have instilled things like hard work, dedication, loyalty, respect, integrity, and goal setting from a young age. My parents have made sure that I know the importance of taking ownership for mistakes and learning from them to grow and better myself.  They remind me that I can control my future and to make good choices in life. My mother encourages me to do my best academically and challenges me to achieve my full potential at school. My parents have always supported me and gave me the push to get out of my comfort zone and go after the things that I want.    Football has always been a passion of mine from an early age. To me football is a family and the bond that grows is next to none.  I grew up eager and excited to learn all that I could about the sport from many aspects both on and off the field. Whether playing the sport, watching inspirational movies, or assisting my teammates on and off the field, football drives me to do all that I can to be able to play football post high school.  I have enjoyed playing on each team that I have been a part of from my first years in flag football, the youth tackle football program, FBU, Team Wisconsin state football, to my experiences with high school football. Each brought new learning experiences and challenges that helped me better myself as a player.  My father has taken an active role both coaching me and helping me to better myself in football. The support I get from my parents and brothers is next to none.    Academically, I decided that taking the accelerated program would be my best fit, so that I can take college credit courses in my junior and senior year of high school.  I am very interested in Engineering, Pediatrics, as well as becoming a Pharmacist. I would love to find a college that both fits my love of football as well as the career paths that I am interested in.Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and learn a little more about me.
