Caroline Kopsidas '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Caroline and I want to play soccer for the rest of my life. So many of my teammates have told me that they do not want to play soccer in college because of how demanding the schedule is. However, I thrive from a busy schedule, it forces me to manage my time and I am lucky enough to have had a lot of experience with time management having played competitive soccer for almost seven years now. Nothing in life has ever come easy to me. I am not the type of person who can go into a test without studying or run a mile after just eating Chilpotle; however I am friends with a lot of people who can do these things. Surrounding myself with people who have it easier than I do in areas of life such as school and soccer, has allowed me to show to myself, as well as everyone around me, that I am more hardworking than anyone they will ever know. I will never understand why my teammates do not want to play soccer for the rest of the time they are on Earth, but what I can understand is that because of the people I have surrounded myself with up until now, I have been made into this hardworking and determinded person, and I guess that is why I will never give up this sport, because I have never given up on anything.
