Personal Statement
Competing on the collegiate level has long been a dream of mine. I have worked tremendously hard to get to the point that I am now at and look to further that in the remainder of my high school career and hopefully into college. In terms of college, I would like to go to somewhere that could offer a good business program along with a good campus. Athletic facilities would be important along with a good team environment. Overall, if I were to compete in college, I would look to better the team I am on in whatever way I can. Whether this would be on the competition level or in training, I would like to lead by example. What makes me different from other recruits is that I offer high character, a good work ethic, and a high academic standard.
