Interview
What makes you different?
!
I am able to read the game of basketball well, and I am always looking to share the ball with teammates, rather than worrying about myself and my scoring or statistics. Off the court I am different as I am able to express myself without the fear of others and will commit to getting something done properly the first time.
! !
Why do you want to compete in college? I would like to compete in college so that I can not only become the best basketball player that I can, but also get a degree that is going to help me throughout my life and not just for a sporting situation. I would also like to gain life experience by living in a different place and understanding a different culture.
! !
College goals? My goals are to contribute and be a positive influence on my team’s success, as well as being able to showcase my skills and abilities.
! !
Life goals? I would like to play basketball professionally, as well as earning a degree in journalism so that once my playing career was over I could

Im ready “My goals are to contribute and be a positive influence“
