Academic Goals
I want to study anything related to Business. I am also open to studying Psychology, especially in the sports field as I am more than willing to take opportunities that will allow me to stay in the world of sports.

College Goals
I want to be able to improve in basketball at a consistent rate during college while embracing the team culture and being able to compete with the team at a very high level. I also wish to stay on top of my studies, carrying business projects alongside sports.Having a balanced academic-athletic life is not new to me, as I know how to structure my time and set priorities, something I've learned during the last two years living in sports boarding schools.

Life Goals
My life goal is to play professional basketball and being able to compete at a high level for a long period of time.

Why do you want to compete in College ?
By competing in college, I can play with and against athletes with similar aspirations, which will push me to improve everyday. I can also follow my backup plan in case any changes or injuries occur. Finally, being a student-athlete will undoubtedly give me experience that I need to keep competing at the next level.

What makes you different ?
I believe that I am different due to the fact that I am a quick learner and always strive to improve. Although I've always been playing sports, I believe my ability to learn fast helped me compete at a high level despite picking up my first basketball at 14. On top of that, my desire to constantly hone my skills and game sense allows me to have a hard work ethic, as well as learn from those around me.
