My goal is to play professional basketball and I know college is one of many steps to getting there. I started playing basketball when I was in 7th grade. My high school doesn’t have a team of their own but that hasn’t stopped me from continuing to work on my skills. I know other athletes around my age have more experience on the court but even without playing on a high school team I've been competing against students with teams and not just competing, dominating against them in different AAU circuits. I know I have a long way to go in my path towards the league but every day I work knowing that even without a team, I’m going to show that hardwork and dedication are the key to success.
