Personal Statement
My name is Alessandro Petronelli and I am currently a junior at Passaic Valley Regional High School in Little Falls, New Jersey. Ever since I was little I always enjoyed watching and playing soccer, as it was an important part of our culture coming from an Italian family. I feel I am qualified to be a member of a team because I work hard for what I want to accomplish and I have much respect for both my coaches and teammates. My goal is to play at the highest college level possible, perform well, and gain interest from others. I'm different from most recruits, as I try my best to set an example of leadership and perseverance both on and off the field. Also, I am an honor roll student at Passaic Valley Regional High School, which shows that I can handle many tasks at once and get them done well.
