Kenna Mattison '15 Recruiting Profile

         I have several goals that I would like to achieve in my life.  My short term goals are to attend the college of my choice while playing soccer for their soccer team. I aspire to become a math teacher with the qualifications to work with children with special needs and to coach soccer.  My long term goals are to become a math professor at a university while continuing to coach soccer at the high school level.  I would make a wonderful candidate for my soccer team because I work as hard as I can to make sure that we work as a family. My team is my family; they always come first. I work well with others in many different situations. I am open to playing any position there is to be played in order to help the team achieve its goals. My life has been dedicated to soccer since I was five years old. What makes me different than the other recruits, is that I will do whatever it takes to do what I love. I have played on many different teams from around the U.S. Because of the numerous amount of times I have moved, I have had the experience to play in many different regions and cultures. Additionally, I strive in all other parts of my life.  This includes both in academics and personally.  Although my G.P.A. is only average, it is because I dedicate my time to community service projects and helping others in need. In the duration of my freshman year alone, I accumulated over 240 community service hours. I have been involved in Girl Scouts for 10 years now. I have also been a leader for younger girl scout troops. I was a venture scout in a Venturing Crew for 2 years. I have had several different babysitting jobs and  most importantly, I love helping people in need because I want them to have the best success that they can achieve.
