I am a very smart, talented, and diligent individual. Every since I could make letter grades i've made honor roll or renaissance. Behind the outstanding performance I give in the classroom, I give an amazing show on the court as well. I've always been brought up in conversations about being a good and respectful kid, with outstanding potential on and off the court. Over the course of my years in school, i've had a lot of growing to do behavior wise. I always made silly mistakes that could've been avoided and let down the people that cared most. However, I care about their feelings and the way that I am perceived as a character. So I insisted that something change, I must change for the better. My behavior on and off the court has to be acceptable to all audiences, I wouldn't want anyone viewing me poorly because my act isn't right. Character and attitude are a big part of what leads up to a successful future. Nobody wants to deal with someone who has a bad attitude or just bad ways. I opened my eyes to the fact that what I do doesn't only impact me, although i'm hurting myself the most in the end, as i'm only living for me and depicting my future. Basketball is the most precious thing i've ever come across, I never knew it was meant for me. I'm a very naturally talented player with the ability and potential to play at any division there is. Working out and getting sweaty and just feeling exhausted is a great feeling, because I know it will all pay off. I'd LOVE to go to the Women's National Basketball Association, I've been dreaming of it since I can remember and bettering myself because I just don't see myself anywhere else. After all, it must be meant for me, it was thrown my way naturally and I most definitely will take it and run with it. If all fails, I will fall back on being some type of lawyer, perhaps criminal justice. This is due to the fact that I prevent myself very well and make very good points in every argument. The fact that I should be a lawyer was thrown at me until I actually took it and was serious about it. Since then, everyone that's asked me agreed to the fact that I should definitely major in law school. I watched my mom go to school several times and get her master's degree, becoming a Registered Nurse Practitioner. My mom is also big motivation because she's a very successful woman and I refuse to fall short, on my own. She pushes me to be great and by far will not let me go down the wrong path, but she won't force anything upon me. Just as much as she wants me to be successful and go to school, I want the same for myself. I'm from an area where many people have the brains and talent to go wherever they'd like, but they choose to stay here. We're all products of our environment of some sort, but it takes a strong mind to overcome every obstacle and make the best choices to be great and successful in the end. I just want to be a difference maker, I want to make everyone around me happy as well as myself. If I accomplish my personal goals I will not only make myself proud but everyone who expects greatness of me. There's so many let downs and I just want to be someone to look up to and motivate younger people. I've made changes within myself that are needed for a successful future already, and i'm willing to do whatever in order to make a great life for myself and those around me when I get the power and ability
