Personal Statement
Hi,
I'm ELLY, and I trust this message finds you well. I wanted to share why I believe I'd be a valuable addition to the team. My relentless hunger to play and the drive to transform my life set me apart. While my academics are solid, I acknowledge there's room for improvement, and I am committed to enhancing my performance.
To provide a bit of background, my family's financial situation has been significantly affected by the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. My father's primary source of income revolves around recycling, particularly with cardboard boxes. However, the demand for such recyclables has diminished considerably during these trying times, causing a strain on our family's finances. As a result, my parents are finding it increasingly difficult to cover the costs associated with my education
My overarching dream is to play college basketball, envisioning a pathway that could eventually lead me to the NBA. Growing up in Africa, where basketball isn't as prominent, the odds may seem stacked against me. However, I view this as a unique opportunity to break barriers and create a better future for both myself and my family. Basketball isn't just a game for me; it's a chance at a life-changing journey.
I'm eager to discuss how I can contribute to the team and work towards achieving these dreams. Looking forward to the possibility of being a part of something great.
Best, ELLY
