College Essay 

            Have you ever felt like you weren’t good enough or that certain someone was better then you? Well I myself felt like I would never accomplish my dreams because no one ever really gave me a chance to be what I could be!

            One day I was riding my bike in my neighborhood when I was in the fifth grade and I was thinking about how the coach never played me in basketball and I remembered looking into my dads eyes in the stands while sitting on the bench seeing the sadness cause he knew that I had potential and I knew it too! So that day I decided that I would take every chance I could get to become successful and to seize every opportunity!

            The next year was my sixth grade year and I had been practicing for the middle school team all summer long. This was my shot, and the first opening game I had twenty-six points! This was the turning point of my life, and from then on out I was a big scorer and I was respected as a basketball player. I think this will help me in college and in life in many areas in my life! The first reason why it will is because when things get hard and everything goes south and it feels like I won’t make it I know I can pull through and get the job done! And me being the basketball player that my dad knew I could be and the player I could be showed that I can work hard and really accomplish everything I want to accomplish!

            So when I make it to the University of Florida I will not only just work hard but I will succeed farther than people in my class, because I look at it as a challenge and I really love challenges! And when life is full of challenges I know that I will do well and be successful.
