My name is, and I am from Iota, Louisiana. I have played basketball
my entire life and have traveled to many places. Playing basketball has introduced me to many
experiences pertaining to education and experiences with other cultures. My goals are to
become the best math and history teacher I can be and to become a great basketball
coach. Also, I believe in being a life-long learner.
I was born in Jennings, Louisiana, and grew up in the rural town of Iota my entire life.
Being an only child has come with a great deal of special privileges, and I have always enjoyed
them. My father’s family has resided in Iota for over six generations. My mother’s family is
from Italy and currently live in Evangeline, Louisiana. One of my special abilities is playing the
electric guitar. I recently started playing the guitar. When I was in first grade, I started playing
basketball. In sixth grade, I joined the varsity team and played on it until my senior year. I set
many school records, and I played college basketball at Louisiana State University at Eunice. I
have traveled many places. My favorite place that I have traveled is Los Angeles, California.
California was amazing, and I loved everything about it. I have traveled to many states, and
Oklahoma was one of the most beautiful. In my spare time, I like to go mud riding with my
family and play video games, especially, Guitar Hero. Since I was a child, I have collected
sports cards, and I now have over a thousand. Life-long learning starts when you are young and
with your parents encouragement and teachings. Teachers influence students’ futures. I believe
