This good idea
I would like to be able fully understanding
Hello my name is Musa Kiriza Guillain, I am 15 years old, I am 6’3 feet tall, A Congolese to be precise. I consider myself to be very grateful, humble and honest. I am a true Christian. I have always wanted to study abroad, in America to be precise. I play basketball very well, I am a point guard and a shooting guard. I can also play any position comfortably. I got a scholarship from a Christian high school in America but it was so soon and my mom who’s a single mother couldn’t afford the money for the embassy because she is raising three kids on her own. I would love to really play for your school. There is no platform here in Uganda to showcase the skills and talents of an athlete. It will really be a life changing experience to play for your school and I am also intelligent. I am a point guard. I also play other sports like soccer. I would love to get a scholarship. I don’t have the money to pay because I lost my dad 2009 ever since things have been really difficult.
