Personal Statement

Hello,

I am excited for this next chapter in my life.  I look forward to further my growth academically, athletically, and as a person.  My time as a student and teammate has helped me develop a foundation for the person I wish to be.

Character - Trust and accountability must be the foundation of a man's character.  Can I be trusted to do what I say?  Trusted to live what I believe?  Trusted to speak the truth?  And when I fall short, as we all will at some point, be accountable?  My goal is to be a person that can be trusted and will take corrective action to make things right. 

Curiosity - There is so much out there I have yet to discover.  I have learned that much of the knowledge and wonders of this world lies beyond a simple door that can be opened with curiosity.  It is very easy to rely on what we think we know.  It is a false sense of safety.  My goal is to be a person that is always curious to make things better or find a better way. 

Commitment -  I've never seen anybody truly happy living "Plan B".  If the greatest teacher in life is failure, what can be learned from a safety net?  Being fully committed means getting clear about the target and then get there by all means possible.  My goal is to be a person that is fully committed to the things I care about.

I look forward to speaking with you about your institution and team.
