Personal Statement
I captained my school basketball team, leading in scoring with 29 points; being a premier playmaker with 7 assists, and 10 rebounds per game, but most of all with spirit in guiding a challenged team towards unity and how to be resilient. My role was beyond just the scorer and playmaker; it included helping peers and availing of a good environment and an ethos of working hard. I have maintained a 3.9 GPA academically, balancing between rigorous coursework and sports to prepare for the future as an engineer.
My aspirations for college are two-fold: to contribute to a basketball program that values both leadership on the court and academic excellence, and also be able to further my education in the field of engineering. What differentiates myself from other prospective recruits is that on the one hand, I possess a proven capability to lead in adverse situations, and on the other, I have a sound basis in academics. Being a part your team would not be adding just another player who will take the game to the next level, but one equally committed to excelling in academics and professionalism.
