Personal Statement

I'm the hardest working guy on the team:  the one who shows up to lift mornings before school, pumps up the team as we drive down the field, and puts my hand on the shoulder of a teammate who needs encouragement and support.  Coaches depend on me to get teammates in their correct positions, with plays, and as the go-to guy when times get tough both on and off the field.  In the classroom and on campus, I'm the peacemaker and the guy who stands up for those who need a voice or a bit of support.  Academically, I am solid and am in search of interesting ideas and practical skills.  Because of my deep respect for others, my teammates, classmates, teachers, and members of our small community have honored me with their respect and admiration.  It's a role I do not take lightly.
