After playing competitive soccer for 5 years, I reached a point where I wanted a new challenge. That is when I started basketball, I began playing at the start of my sixth grade year, I was 11 years old. Being an athlete taught me, something, that I will never forget, my core values. These core values guide me as an athlete and a student. My core values include:
1. Loyalty and love to my family first.
2. Discipline in education, there is no substitute for hard work and higher learning.
3. Commitment to basketball. Competition is vital part of life. Try to achieve competitive greatness through ongoing physical and mental conditioning.
4. Don't be afraid to lead and lead by example.
5. Be ambitious. Don't wait for someone else to motivate you, start your own engine.
