Personal Statement
I hold the aspiration of becoming the best basketball player and individual I can be. My utmost ambition is to be the hardest worker ever. Admittedly, I may not have the highest degree of natural talent on the court. Speed, height, and strength may not be my greatest assets. I also may not get much recognition of talent or skills because of the preconceived stereotypes people make when they see me, and Sikh Indian kid. However, I am resolute in exerting every ounce of myself on the court and in the gym, making me one of the most hardest working basketball players to have ever existed. This relentless work ethic serves as my greatest advantage. My unyielding dedication drives me to go harder and run farther. I fully understand the significance of sacrifice to chase my goals.
From the earliest moments of my childhood, I had this innate belief in myself, knowing I could do anything I set my mind on, yet I was lazy. Because of picking up that basketball in the gym in the summer after 8th grade, I realized the power of work ethic and discipline, and the pursuit to excel in everything I did in life. When I combined those two aspects of self-belief and work ethic, I believed that I could go very far with just those two qualities. Furthermore, I possess a highly competitive personality. From the earliest moments I can recall, I have relished the act of engaging in contests with others, and the taste of victory has served as the ultimate fulfillment, every single time. All the exertion I invest are fueled by an unyielding desire for that fulfillment and the profound satisfaction it brings. This fulfillment is the essence of my objective—to emerge victorious and prove myself right.
