Personal Statement
My name is Schyler (Sky) McBride, and I am a Sophomore at Flint Hill School, in Oakton, Virginia. Flint Hill is a private school in Northern Virginia, known for its strong academic and athletic programs. I am interested in finding a college with a solid Pre-Med or Pre-Dental program, where I may play soccer at the intercollegiate level. I currently play for my high school team (Flint Hill Huskies) and travel club team (Reston Alliance / NCSL).
My position is Forward/Striker. I have been told that I am very "coachable." I pay attention, work hard, and enjoy being part of a team. This year, I was selected by the coaches to be our team Captain. I hope that my size and speed will help make me a good college prospect.
While I love soccer, and sports in general, I know that the priority in college has to be academics. I am interested in Medicine (my dad is a physician), and I would prefer a college with a strong science/Pre-Med program. This year, I have challenged myself with AP History, Latin III, Honors Calculus, Chemistry, English, and Percussion. I am currently studying for the SAT, and hope to do very well on that exam. I would love to pursue my soccer career as far as my talents may take me, but I realize that my education is the most important factor for my future success.
I feel that I would make a strong contribution to your program, and look forward to speaking with you soon!
