Basketball is something that I’ve done every since I got in high school. It helps give me relief from all of my hard studies that i’ve always done. I would love to play basketball in college to use it as an outlet and I would be able to engage in my college school more. It would allow me
to take part in school activities, promote my school, have great school spirit, and it will unite me with the campus life easier.

I have been Captain of my JV team when I was in 9th grade. I also am the Captain of my varsity team. I help run plays and guide the other players I help my coach with activities and fundraising. Outside of basketball I am a leader in school because I tutor students and I also help my teachers in class; when students don’t understand something I help them if the teacher is busy because the teacher asks me too. This is in all of my classes. I also lead by example. I am a great student and it pushes other around me to want to be great also.

I pursue healthy athletic performance because I make straight As while playing basketball year round. I do not allow one aspect to take more time and energy than the other. I balance school and basketball very well!

I do community service at the recreation center, the library, and boys basketball games (concessions). I also peer tutor in school and those are community service hours. This is important to me because when I give back to the community, the people that I give to will then have the chance to give back also. I instill in them what I want them to instill in the rest of the community; it is a domino effect of good doing and positivity.
