2014 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Ever since I can remember I have wanted to play soccer. Playing College soccer will help me become a top athlete and become the person I want to be. The next step to my life is to play in college. I want to be challenged to be my best on and off the field. My goal in life is to become a professional athlete. I dream to play with the very best in the world and to play in Europe.
I have great leadership qualities and i like to bond with the people i work with. I have excellent ball handling skills with my hands and good handling with my feet. I have strong legs and I can move quick. I want to be the best on the team and work hard to do so.
In the classroom I try hard to maintain a good GPA. I work hard and want to excel in what I am learning.
I hope to become a great peer to those around me. I also want to make my parents proud of what I have come to be and what I have done.
