Yonis Descieux '24 Recruiting Profile

It has often been said that the best teacher in life is your own experiences, as none of us know who we are until we encounter adversity. As a young adult wanting to find my purpose, my passion has allowed me to overcome bumps I never anticipated. Growing older, realizing my passion is quite different from others, I saw endless opportunities in front of me that would set me apart. Understanding that passion is a powerful motivator pushed me into God’s greatness.

Throughout my high school journey, I have strived to maintain a balanced life that encompasses both academics and extracurricular activities. I have consistently achieved strong academic performance, maintaining a 3.3 grade point average, in a challenging course load. However, my passion extends beyond the classroom. I am particularly proud of my accomplishments as a varsity football player at Paetow High School. This journey has taught me the value of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. It has allowed me to develop leadership skills, not only on the field but also in my academic and community pursuits.

Experiencing adversity can be a defining moment in one's life. As a varsity football player, I faced a significant challenge when I was injured during a crucial game, my sophomore year. It was a tough blow, both physically and mentally, because I had to work hard to earn my spot on the team. However, I refused to let this setback define me. Instead, I focused on supporting my teammates and contributing to their success in any way I could. Despite my injury, our team went on to win the Texas State Championship, and I was proud to have played a part in that achievement. This experience taught me the importance of resilience, teamwork, and most importantly leadership.

While I am not 100% sure what I want to do for a living, I know that college would give me the best opportunity to learn more about myself and find my way in the world. My plan is to follow my strengths and take classes to make me better, but I also want to work on my weaknesses. I believe that college would be the perfect place for me to achieve my academic and personal goals.

 I am genuinely dedicated to contributing my best efforts and making a meaningful impact on campus. I believe that my academic achievements, leadership experience, and dedication to personal growth would make me a successful student at your institution.

I am committed to embracing the noble values and mission of your institution, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with fellow students to create a better future for myself, my community, and the world.

Thank you for considering me to join your team. I would be honored to be part of your community and contribute to its legacy of excellence. I eagerly anticipate your response and the possibility of joining the incoming class.
