Hailey Higashi's ...Personal Statement
Since I was a little girl I fell in love with the game and have aspired to play for a collegiate program that is competitive at a high level and also pushes its athletes against other good programs. I love to work hard and help lead my teammates to successes in everything we do as a team (on and off the court) so that we can grow together and become stronger student athletes as a whole. With that being said; I am a student first. I decided to stay at Saint George’s High School, in Spokane Washington, due to their academics being outstanding. I want to succeed at a high level of basketball and academics and I believe that I have already been set on the right path to do so. I have great confidence, poise and leadership on the court and that I also have a wonderful base to keep building upon to become an even better student. My drive to become a better version of myself everyday and to help others around me do so to is why I can be a great asset to a collegiate program.
