Personal Statement

From the age of three,  teachers, pediatricians, and loved ones predicted a future for me on the football field. Their voices fueled a passion that has defined my journey. As the youngest in my class and a multi-sport athlete, I’ve navigated a unique path, rich with lessons thatgo beyond the classroom and the field.

Advancing a grade didn’t just accelerate me academically; it demanded adaptability and resilience. This experience shaped my approach to life, teaching me the art of persistence imduring hard times and the importance of being myself.

I’ve learned that relationships are key. Accepting feedback, enduring the physical toll, and overcoming self-doubt are part of the game. Each setback is a lesson in perseverance, and each victory is a testament to discipline. As a running back, I’ve learned to trust in the strength of my team, understanding that every play is a shared effort.

The track has helped me to work under pressure, while the weight room has taught me that progress comes from sustained effort. The discipline I’ve developed helps me in other areas of life, reinforcing the value of dedication and the rewards of going the extra mile.

Football has taught me commitment. It has instilled in me that showing up and making an effort effort is never in vain. Whether it’s additional practice, mentoring younger athletes, or participating in camps, I give my all. This sport has not only taught me how to run a ball but also how to pursue a life of purpose and passion.

But beyond the field, another passion is finance. I enjoy buying and selling,  noticing patterns and trends. I can imagine the adrenaline rush of a touchdown mirrors the thrill of a successful trade. My goal isn’t just to score touchdowns; it’s to help others build wealth, create opportunities, and make informed financial decisions.
