Personal Statement
I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old. Ever since that point, I have always wanted to play soccer collegiately and possibly make a career out of it. Even if I don't make a career playing professional soccer, I know playing college soccer will shape my future. It has to this point taught me to respect the game and helped me to become a more well rounded person off the field.
I play for FC Tampa Lutz Rangers a team ranked 8th in the state of Florida and 11th in the region according to Gotsoccer rankings.
We will be competing in Regional Championship this summer in Little Rock, Arkansas after winning Region 3 Premiere League.
In the 2014 season I was on the Florida State ODP team and earned a spot over the summer on the ODP Regional Team.
2015 selected for First Team by bay area sports writers in the Tampa Times' all-Tampa Bay Boys soccer
- Leading scorer for the 3A region finalist with 17 goals and 10 assists.
2015 selected for First Team Hillsborough County by bay area sports writers for the Tampa Tribune
As team Captain, my high school team this past season made it to the Regional finals after winning a District title.
I currently am a Junior at one of the top high schools in the state, as well as, in the south eastern United States. Jesuit High School is a private Catholic, college preparatory high school that strives for academic excellence producing men for others. Jesuit of Tampa is known for their high academic standards, with a very selective admissions process for incoming freshman. Jesuit is also know for producing many top athletes playing at top colleges in the nation.
I also stay involved every summer participating in mission work throughout the United States to help out the less fortunate along with doing certain community service activities throughout the year including TOPS Soccer.
I want to attend a college where I will succeed on the field and in the classroom, but also where I know I will feel comfortable and be a good fit for me and the school. I hope to become someone younger kids in my extended family look up to and also make my parents proud.
