I started playing basketball in 5th grade, of course, this made me behind other players. However as soon as I started playing I knew I loved it. I worked hard to catch up to others, giving me a great work ethic to push harder. This work ethic has appeared in things even other than sports, such as academics. I'm in advanced classes and carrying a 3.95/4.0 GPA. Adding onto academics, I've been in student council since fifth grade, showing my ability to work with others and get along with new possible teammates.
