Amaya Johnson "20...Amaya Johnson Jun...Amaya Johnson: '2...Personal Statement
Hello,
My name is Amaya Johnson, I’m a 5’5, 135lb. point guard / shooting guard. My goal is to play Division I basketball, however, I am open to other opportunities to play Division II, Division III, NAIA, and JUCO if necessary.
School is my number one priority. I have a 3.45 GPA while taking multiple AP and Honors courses while participating on the varsity basketball and cheerleading teams. I want to pursue a degree in sports medicine and business. Since I first started playing the game of basketball, I have wanted to play basketball in college and further my career as a professional. I want to play this game until I can not run up and down the court anymore.
Division I basketball is where best of the best are seen on a wide platform, this is an opportunity to represent my state of Georgia and the college/universities brand. Having that ability to be someone others can rely on is an enormous responsibility which I believe I can uphold incredibly well.
I am a high character, high integrity individual who gives back to the community in many ways. When it comes to athletics, I am coachable and coming from a family of many successful athletes, businessmen and women. I understand how much commitment to hard work and dedication it takes to become successful.
My goal is to make my dreams a reality and one day become an alumni of my university, a professional athlete, and own a professional practice in sports medicine after my career has ended. I will not stop pushing until I get to where I want to go.
Thank you for taking the time to read my statement. I look forwarded to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Amaya Johnson
