Personal Statement

I am a 5'8" Point Guard from the Bronx, NY.  I will graduate in the 2021 class. I'm dedicated, motivated and passionate about basketball. Playing basketball became completely a part of my life for about a year and a half. Although the short time playing in an organized team level I have played basketball for over 3 years. As I embarked into the sport of basketball in an organized league team I became passionate and a sense of drive to become knowledgeable at the sport. Although I may not have a lot experience I pushed myself to improve and gain a lot of experience in a short amount of time. I'm coach able and have a natural instinct of hustle. I strive for success in the classroom as well as on the court. My parents perseverance and willpower to withstand the adversity and struggles they constantly face in their lives has molded me into the young man I am today.  A student-athlete working hard to achieve my goals with tenacity, dedication, and a can-do attitude. My parents have inspired me to keep going, push the limit, and get up when I fall down.  As a  basketball athlete I've learned to time-manage myself with sports, as well as excel in my academics. 

My goals in life are to graduate High School with an excellent GPA and gain admission into a great college to follow where I can excel both academically and as a basketball athlete. I always believe that there is room for improvement and I am unafraid to go the extra mile to make sure I continue to push myself further. I'm constantly working on the progress of building more strength, more basketball IQ, improve my skills and knowledge of the game. Furthermore, I have the ability to memorize Plays efficiently and with ease.  All in all, ideally I'm looking for an institution where I can play basketball at the highest competition level possible. I believe that given the opportunity I will be a great asset to a team because I'm persistent, hard-working, a leader, a team player and have the willpower to conquer and tackle any obstacles that may arise.
