Career Path

I am a freshman enroll at High School. I am the youngest of three children. As a young child I always had the love of playing basketball. My siblings and I was always playing basketball to see who is better than the other. Ever chance we got we was always competing against one another, but most of all we supported each as well. I reside in Queens with my family, my father Winston; mother Yvonne, Brother Isiah who is a junior attending Old Westbury College playing college basketball as well as keeping up his studies .His major is Business and I may add that he is maintaining his grades as well. My sister'Kejia who attends Nortre Dame Academy Prep School so she can better her academic skills as well as playing on the team. Being the youngest of the clan is the hardest to me, because everyone will expects nothing but the best from me. I feel this way due to the fact that I already have two siblings achieving there goal.

Well first and foremost I am going to continue getting good grades at the same time pursuing what I love most and that's playing basketball. One of my goals that I kind of have mapped is playing college basketball and playing in the NBA. I'm already working on that goal. I have already played with various basketball teams where I have been noticed and different coaches have came up to me asking me can I play with them. I will try out and continue playing basketball at my school. I already know if your grades are not up to part there is not basketball. Since I love this game so much this will keep me on my toes with my grades. By playing basketball at my school and keeping up my grades gives me the initiative to keep striving. At the same time this will continue to get more recognition. I look at it like this by playing ball will also help me with a scholarship, but it will not stop there for me if you do not know the basic reading, writing and arithmetic you are not going to excel in anything so I will continue with my studies.
