Personal statement: “I work hard at just being myself, and not pretending to be somebody I am not. I am an outgoing person, determined to be accepted onto a collegiate team and receive the next level of a stellar education. I work enthusiastically to be a leader on and off the basketball court. Some values my parents have instilled in me are honesty, integrity, respect, commitment and responsibility. These characteristics define who I am as a person and as a leader in my community”.
