Throughout my life, my parents have always prompted me to be persistent and determined academically, and athletically. Out of the many things my parents have taught me, being persistent and determined are what I think have been one of, if not, the most valuable to me because of the mindset it has instilled in me; giving up isn't an option. Thanks to this type of mindset, I have been able to come far academically with high grades, and athletically, and have realized the importance of it as both can take me further in life. My goal is to become a collegiate player to further my skill as an athlete, and intelligence as a student, but also, to form strong bonds with teammates through the years.
