2023 SpotlightPersonal Statement
Throughout middle school and the early stages of my high school athletic career, I always believed that I was going to be a basketball player. During my high school experience track and field was always just an opportunity to be faster and improve my athleticism on the court. But in a somewhat sudden turn of events I began to fall in love with track and field, as the sport always felt somewhat natural to me. During my sophomore year I began to compete at a higher level and I realized that this is something I truly want to do in the future. I have only been doing track and field for about 3 years, and sprinting for 2 years. I believe that I am still raw, and I'm committed to getting better over the course of my career. Being a team captain for my high school team junior year I developed good habits and leadership qualities that I know will translate to the next level. While competing on the track and on the court , I have also taken 5 honors classes.

- ActivitiesThis past year I decided to cut my high school varsity basketball career short to focus on Track and Field. I still have a love for the sport of basketball so I wanted to channel my knowledge of the sport to others who are disadvantaged. Over the summer I decided to run a skills and drills camp for underprivileged kids in Nairobi, Kenya. I had run a skills and drills camp with the same kids in 2019 (pre-pandemic), and I recognized a lot of potential in many of them. Over the course of the school year, I begun making plans to go back in the summer to teach them some of the fundamentals of the game. With the help of 3 corporate sponsors and family members, we were able to successfully run this camp. We raised money to provide much needed basketball equipment for the local league. At the same time, I decided to start an organization called Cheza Basketball, and will be partnering with local leagues starting with the church that owns this particular basketball court. The ChezaBasketball summer camp will now become an annual tradition. I plan to expand to different cities in Kenya to bring other kids the same experience. Website Link: chezabasketball.org
