He graduated as an honor student with a 3.2 GPA in December of 2022. His position on the football team was a wide receiver and he also plays on defense as a safety. Semaj’s explosive and dynamic level of athleticism has afforded him some great opportunities that are second to none! Since the very young age of 5, he has been playing all kinds of sports from Flag Football to Wrestling and even high-level Basketball. When Semaj was 6 years old he managed to snag being #2 in the State of Michigan and #6 Nationally in the sport of Wrestling. As he continued to prosper in his athletic abilities he tried playing basketball while in the 5th grade, and his defensive action while on the court allowed him to be a part of the BEST basketball program in the nation, “The Family Basketball”. During his time playing basketball which was a very competitive sport, he was selected to attend the 2019 Junior NBA where he played high-level basketball in Orlando.
SJM Foundation has noticed a valuable need that affects children and adults in the surrounding metro areas. Such as the need to have food, clothing, educational programs, health awareness, and after-school programs that should help foster well-rounded successful individuals in the community. SJM Foundation would like to lend a helping hand to bridge the gap for the various needs that plague local communities, by providing services that would benefit all walks of life at various stages. We would also like to collaborate with different backgrounds that create think tanks that can help bring solutions to problems that previously might have gone unsolved. Our purpose will bring in new ideas through non-profit collaboration in various components of partnerships throughout Michigan.
