Personal Statement

I love to challenge myself and others around me, I believe that hard work on and off of the field is key and leads to great production on and off of the field. While I love football and want to play on the college level, my education is very important to me and I want to go to a school that has a great academic program as well as athletics. My mom and coaches have instilled a sense of responsibility in me that I take seriously and I work hard at my schoolwork. Also, I volunteer in my community by participating in food drives, charity walks for the March of Dimes, American Heart Association, Susan G Komen Breast Cancer awareness and NCVAN crime victims walk. My mom has instilled in me a sense of pride and imparted the value of a good education, she has taught me to never give up and even if I am not the greatest at something, if I work hard and practice I will become great at anything that I do. Pushing myself to do my best has become a character trait that I am proud of because I never give up trying to improve myself athletically and academically. 

Upon graduating from college it is my hope to start my own business in either sports medicine or coaching. I belive that my drive, determination and work ethics makes me a great candidate for any team. I am a team player and understand that as a member of a team I have a rsponsibility to give my team everything I have in me in order to succeed. I am not afraid of a challenge nor will I let a setback discourage me from pushing harder to improve.
