Hi, I'm Zaiden Gulley. Thank you for checking out my profile. I was raised by my single mother in Grand Island, Nebraska. Things didn't come easy for us and I was taught to work hard for what I want in life. My Grandpa, who was the only constant male figure in my life and the one that helped me with getting ready for college sports, suddenly died and I realized just how short life is and to make it the best I can, while I still can. I strive to be different than the rest. I push myself harder. I work longer. I give it everything I got and leave it all on the court. As far as my grades go, there were some years where certain life events aided in my struggle with school. But I promised myself to get back on track. I am working extremely hard and it will reflect in my grades this year. As far as basketball goes, my goal is to surpass the best ball player I ever imagined I would be and make that little kid with a big dream proud.
