Personal Statement
I love playing soccer and would love to continue in college. I have played soccer for a club team since I was 9 years old and started varsity since my freshmen year. I am determined to be the best player and person that I can be. I love the sport and the camaraderie that being on a team provides. In order to be a team player, I believe that I have to push myself so that my team mates will push themselves. True leaders on the field live the life of a leader off the field. I want to be that type of person. I train hard in the off season, pushing my limits to improve my speed, endurance, touch and skills. But leadership isn't limited to playing soccer, so I work hard academically. I am in an early college program- taking college classes and high school classes so I can graduate with a high school diploma and an associate's degree designed to transfer to a 4 year university. I spend time outside of school and soccer volunteering with my youth group and at community organizations and have done several mission trips. I look forward to any opportunity to play at the collegiate level.
