I've been thinking about college since 2010. Before that year, I was thinking to graduate here, in Brazil, but my parents told me that it would be good for me to go to the USA, because of basketball and the opportunities that I'll have there may be better than if I stay. So I started searching about the best universities and with the best sports programs. This is my first year studying in ISC and I'm really happy because my chances to go to a good university increased. I expect to get a scholarship and play basketball too. 

My issue is about the course I'm going to choose. I will definitely do something related to sports. To be honest, I always dream about my first day at college, my first basketball game in the NCAA and, God willing, my first game as a professional basketball player. One of my fears is to not get there, not make my parents and myself proud. I know it is not going to be easy, but I am ready to do whatever it takes to get there, I told myself that I will do my best and work hard every single day. A concern that I have is how I will combine studies and basketball practice? I need to know what type of player the coach is looking for and what are the admission requirements for an athlete. I will need to learn how to organize my schedule and my life at the campus. I'm a little worried about how the other girls on the team, especially those in the same position that I play, will behave with my arrival? 
If I be an aware Academic Leader, in the future, I'll be better prepared to make decisions, I will be more responsible, more confident and certainly a better student, athlete and person. That's why ISC has a significant portion in my way until college and I have to take these three years very seriously.
Coach Carter is a movie that always motivates me and teaches me that I can play basketball and be a good student at the same time!
