High School and Younger Sister
Hello my name is Dayo Akindele and I am interested in your school’s athletic department. I am 6’ 3” and weight 174 pounds. I have many different strengths in many different areas. First and foremost, I am a very hard worker. Whenever I do something I do it to the best of my ability and give it my all. I am extremely as seen through the dedication I have exerted through the years with the Heritage High School Track& Field and Basketball teams. Once I discovered that my true passion was track& field I completely devoted myself to the one program, while at the same time keeping up my grades in the classroom. I keep myself occupied running and jumping in this sport and I love it, but that is not my only motivation. My family is definitely one of the key aspects to my drive, discipline, and focus. I try to succeed and set a respectable example for my younger brother and younger sister. My brother was not the best with his behavior in school and out of school. This was mostly because he did not participate in any extracurricular activities. After seeing how occupied it kept me and the enjoyment it brought, he then joined the following year. Even my younger sister has taken notice of what track can offer an individual and has set her mind to become a track athlete as well. I hope that one day they both can be rewarded through this sport as I have. Leave out the fact that you have to have your mommy and daddy keep you in line with grades. No coach wants an athlete who has to be babied. Replace with two paragraphs. One about your SPECIFIC accomplishments in track and field. And second write a paragraph asking for information and thanking the school. Also, Check some of the changes I have made. Then send back.

    Why I deserve to be considered for the South Central Border All-Academics Scholarship is an easy answer, because I plan on continuing to play sports in college including dance and maybe throwing the javelin. Most students would give a heart wrenching explanation, but I go on facts. Fact one; I will be continuing to participate in dance at college. Fact two; academics do not come easy to me and so I have to work extremely hard at it. Fact three; I will work extremely hard to make the school record in javelin by throwing 109 feet. Fact four; I will be a part of dance team in college to help pay for books and tuition in college because I can not afford college otherwise. I go on facts and do not believe in lying so I will tell you that dance and…

    Explaining things that people don't understand has always been a strong point in my time within the community. In sports, specifically volleyball, I am more experienced than most of the people in my grade. When someone is having trouble with a skill like hitting or passing I gladly help them and explain things in a way that is easy to understand. Another quality that I have, is the ability to effectively communicate with others. Not only am I able to communicate with people that I am helping, but also with leaders within this club. I can communicate clearly and professionally through; email, text, verbally, and on the phone. When I have a planned absence from a sport’s practice, I notify my coach at least twenty-four hours before the scheduled start time. My work ethic has always been a strong point within my years of schooling. I have never been tardy to a class or skipped class to do things that I think are more important. Working in groups or teams has always been something I am good at. Working with teams efficiently and effectively is very important, this is especially shown on sports teams, were at practice if one person is slacking off it's harder for…

    As I was reading Gym Candy, by Carl Deuker, I chose to write you a letter because you are a very talented student athlete. I was captivated because I also am a student athlete and I know the struggles and pressures that come along with the expectations. I was amazed that you started on varsity football as a freshman which is extremely difficult and overly time consuming! You take pride in your athletic and what I was most intrigued is your excelling academics. A question that I have for you is how you managed to keep your GPA at 3.8 and a starting position at running back?…

    Growing up with my mom things were pretty blunt, DON’T do things you know you have no business doing. My sister Nyla and I were like two peas in a pod, we did everything together and often defended one another so it was fair for my mom to assume that if something bad happened we both were in on it and she would spank us. At the time I thought it was horrible, I look back now at the stories and I laugh.…

    The dedication I have shown to each of these aspects of my life is a reflection of my good character. My desire to succeed both in and out of the classroom has driven me to earn high grades, become a leader and give back to my community. In the past I have received constructive criticism for mostly engaging in activities that relate to my involvement with track & field. I believe my community service is misunderstood. It has been my choice to participate in the community service activities listed in my application. I chose to become a youth coach for the Little Feet Running Program and volunteer for local races and modified track & field meets because I feel I have more to offer to my community when participating in activities I can easily relate to. My passion for track and field has allowed me to establish strong relationships with…

    My family encompasses such a multitude of strengths, that it’s difficult to pinpoint which ones bring about the most positivity. Personally, I would argue that loyalty is the quintessential strength within my family. Each of us knows our family members will always look out for us and provide whatever they can to enhance our own sense of happiness. My family also spends gargantuan levels of time together. Without spending this quality time together, we’d have no way of furthering, strengthening, and maintaining our relationships with one another. If you’re not willing to take an interest in your family members lives and vice-versa, there’s no chance of establishing a strong relationship with one another. More specifically, within my family, I maintain relationships using different strengths with different members. For example, my mom has always shown the utmost respect towards honesty. No matter what I’ve done, as long as I’m honest with her, our relationship stays strong. My sister on…

    Having a big family can sometimes be a good thing, but in my case it is not something I am proud of. Being one of the youngest out of my whole family I have been put down and told I was not good enough compared to my other cousins. I would cry in my room and think to myself will I ever be good enough in their eyes? As I got older and saw the skills I was capable of, I became determined to be as important as everyone else maybe even better. I accomplished high grades since my elementary years, I was inducted to the National Honor Society, and I am in the first percentile of my class. Although, I was told I will never be better I proved my aunts, uncles, and cousins wrong. At this point, I have accomplished more than any of my family members have.…

    I come from a simple and humble family that had to work very hard to survive and progress in the united states. At a young age I remember losing my father from an unexplicable disease that not even the best doctor in the US were able to figure out. Even though this devastated my entire family my mom never putted her head down and played both roles at home. It was difficult to get over It, but I was able to refuge myself on the soccer fields and get away from the streets ,alcohol, and drugs something that any other kid at age of twelve would have done in those days. Soccer has helped me to make friends everywhere, win many championships, and push myself to my limits to get better at it. My father always wanted me to play soccer and be part of a important team.…

    I am passionate about the treatment we can provide to help these young children overcome what they are going through or have been through. Children are the future and it is our job to make sure that they have the tools to reach their fullest potential in life. By giving them a safe environment and people they can trust and express what they are feeling. Working with young adults and children can be very rewarding, and I discovered my abilities to adapt and relate. Coaching teenagers have given me more opportunities to not just teaching them how to play volleyball but also daily life advice. Being only twenty-two years old coaching and working with children it is easy to relate to some children but not all. They all go through so many different things that I may not have gone through growing up. The young girls I coach are not just there to learn from me they are also teaching me by how to respond to a person when they need someone to turn to. Their lives right now are like an emotional roller coaster because of the changes children are going through every day and plus hormones. I would appreciate the opportunity to become a student at your university to develop my inherent strengths and interest into a successful and fulfilling a career in clinical mental health counseling and transform my personal goals into reality. It would be an honor to have the privilege to continue my education at Lewis…

    Along with administering health care, my main goal for working in this setting is to be a positive influence in students’ lives and give back to the community by making the athletes that I serve into leaders. Being a leader and equipping others with the ability to become leaders is a passion of mine.
