taesha britton '17 Recruiting Profile

My goals and aspirations in life is just to be the best at what i do.  What makes me different from other candidates is my thrive & the amount of dedication I put forth in anything that I do. I go hard at anything and everything I want out of life and give absolutely my best effort towards it all. There are a lot of things that have influenced me as a student athlete like just seeing my family struggle and wanting the finer things in life. I know its going to take a lot of dedication to get where I want go and I am ready for that challenge. Since I was the age of 5 my father introduced me to basketball and ever since then it has become apart of me. Basketball has helped turn my life around so much and has kept me focused and determined. I could say if I didn't have basketball I don't know where i would be right now.  Since I have been playing basketball I have learned that the more you give the more you can conquer.  Basketball has taught me to be physically prepared and to also prepare myself mentally before hand.  Also learned that I and my team are not going to win all our games so that taught me how to pick myself and my team back up and try again.  Currently, since this is my last year of high school I plan to graduate with a 3.5 and above. I plan to go straight into a 4 year university and I want to major in biology or go straight into a nursing program so I can work toward becoming a physical therapist.  I plan to enroll in 3 classes at the most my 1st semester just so I can adjust to the college life first.  A special skill that separates me from others would be my mindset and my strong will to conquer my goals and willing to sacrifice anything to get there.
