Personal Statement

My name is Peyton Douglas and I am currently a 11th grade student at Kecoughtan High School.  I have been playing football since the age of five years old.  I have played on the Varsity football team for Kecoughtan since my Freshman year.  I currently play the Running Back and Linebacker positions due to my speed, strength, and knowledge of the sport.  My goals and aspirations for college are to play football and obtain a degree in the medical / science field.  After I graduate from college, I hope to play for the National Football League (NFL).  I also plan to continue my educational goals by pursuing a degree in the medical field.   Once my career in the NFL is over, I plan to begin a career in Sports Medicine.  I believe my drive and dedication to my advancement in sports and my education sets me apart from many other athletes.  I strive to never be ¨out worked¨ and I never give up.   Not only do I want to be an exceptional athlete and student, I also strive to be a good person, as I enjoy participating in community service activities.  For I truly believe, "from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required.¨
