GET TO KNOW ANDRE TAVARISE MCDONALD

Get to know Andre Tavarise McDonald. Andre was born in North Minneapolis but has grown up in Hopkins. He has one sister and three brothers.

He is involved in sports at his school. He plays football, basketball and baseball at Hopkins high school. He will graduate in 2012.

He wants to go to college to play football. His dream school is USC. He says that he loves the program there.

He says that that basketball is starting to mean more to him. He first picked up his first ball when he was in 6th grade and since then he has just been working as hard as he can to get better. He has found himself spending most of his time with a basketball in his hand lately he think it’s starting to become very important in his life.

This summer he plans to just get his basketball skills better and have a great season with the Howard Pulley program. He loves the program and says it’s such a great basketball experience.

When he is not playing basketball he plays football. He is he starting receiver on the varsity football team at Hopkins high school.

He comes from a pretty harsh background. He hasn’t had the best life as other people but became a stronger person because of it. Sports probably consume three-fourths of his life because it’s his way of getting away from all the negative things around him. It’s basically his stress reliever. He also doesn’t know where he would be right now if he didn’t have his stepdad Jeffery Watts. He was the one that got Andre into sports. He is so very thankful for that.

Knowing Andre Tavarise McDonald I can tell you that he is one of the funnier and overall is a nice person. I am happy to have him as one of my friends.
