I will be attending Midland University on an athletic scholarship. I will be pursuing a degree in business administration and playing football. Midland University offers an excellent business program. I’m hoping to run my own business someday, the knowledge and skills I will learn at Midland will help me reach that goal. Being part of the football team will help me reach my goals in the future. Being able to balance football and my academics, will teach me organizational and time management skills. I will also learn leadership skills, teamwork, and how to develop a good work ethic. The next four years are not only going to teach me the necessary knowledge and skills I will need to succeed, but also help me develop as a person. I know when graduation comes, I will be prepared to enter the business world.
