Personal Statement
Soccer is my greatest passion. Being on the field allows me to feel in control, where all my hard work pays off. Win or lose, the game feels like art where the pitch is a canvas that my teammates and I paint with new scenes each game. Because I've grown up in a sports-minded family and regularly play with my two brothers, competing is one of my strengths. Additionally, I have been fortunate to play for a variety of coaches from around the world who have each added to my skills, vision and command of the game. Playing soccer to my highest potential is the overall goal. Seeing my brother play soccer at Oberlin College is a significant inspiration to me. I want to match his positive attitude and determination and even go beyond. Acceptance to a challenging academic school is of huge importance as well, and I sincerely hope that joining a team is the sweet cherry on top.
