Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Peyton Calvao and I'm a junior at New Bedford High School. I have played soccer since the age of 7 and I joined competitive/traveling club teams at the age of 10. I've changed club teams a few times, so I could improve my play and compete at the highest level possible. I'm a successful and responsible student, having straight A's across the board and having a rank of number 2 in my class. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter and have a seasonal job at creamery. As a young student athlete, I try to balance school, sports and a job as much as possible. I'm dedicated, hard-working and a humbling person on and off the field. I've always set goals for myself and one of them has always been to compete in a high level playing field with other amazing players. I want to be able to join a team where it is like a family, where we look out for each other and put each other on our backs when we are down. College has always been a goal of mine to reach, with playing soccer being the overall dream. To play soccer against top notch competition - where I can improve my play - at a place that I can call my home would be a wonderful way to start off my path into adulthood. I'm a person who strives for greatness and nothing less. I will work and work until the job is done, even if I get constantly knocked to the ground. Finding my path to my future, whether it'd be in sports or in my education is what I'm looking for in my near future at your college.
