Personal Statement
I started playing soccer when I was five years old and since then I've been hooked. For many years I have aspired to be an athlete capable of competing at the collegiate level. Throughout my soccer career, I have gained a lot of knowledge. I have learned that I can persevere and push through both physical and mental barriers, and I have learned that I am a leader that is capable of captaining a team. Soccer is something I've always understood easily and my experience helps me direct and encourage my teammates from my position in the goal. While soccer has taught me a lot, I make sure to maintain good grades and to challenge myself in the classroom. Putting school first has always been a priority of mine and I take it very seriously. Throughout my high school career I have always taken honors and AP level classes in order to take full advantage of my high school education.
