960 WELI Player o...Junior Year Highl...Shelton High SchoolPersonal Statement
I have dreamed of playing basketball in college for as long as I can remember. I have worked tirelessly to be the best player I can be, with the end goal of being a collegiate athlete always in mind. I love all aspects of the game of basketball; the training, working/bonding with teammates, everyone working together with the common goal of winning in mind, and most of all the competition. Whatever school I play for, if I play at all, will be getting a hard worker, a strong leader, and a fierce competitor who would do anything to win. What is so unique about me as a prospect is my diversity. I am not just a basketball player. I am first-and-foremost a student and prioritize my academics, I am an active member of the community, and I am a musician. I provide diversity that most other students do not.
