Personal Statement

I have played football since I was four years old, but only in the last four years has football become a driving force in my life. I figured out how to get better, faster and stronger through listening, studying, pushing and practicing; relentlessly. I took the same approach in other areas of my life and things began to come together. In my Sophomore year, I started on both sides of the ball and was honored as Game Captain. As a Junior in my first varsity season, I had played on every single special teams, and am a hopeful senior starter.  I am an Honor Roll student with a tough academic schedule and intend to graduate with a Regents Diploma with Advanced Designation and Mastery in Science and a possible dual Mastery in Math.

My future is predicated on what I do now. So now, I achieve academic and athletic success through perseverance, commitment and just plain hard work. Now, I invest in my family and community to build the strongest foundation on which to build my future. For now, I focus on being the best son, brother, friend and teammate I can and continue to find ways to improve. Now, I grind mentally and physically to do whatever it takes to help get my team to the LIC. For now, I will do everything I possibly can to make my future the best it can be. I am and will continue to be, relentless in the pursuit of my goals.
