Personal Statement
Since I was just a little kid I have always wanted to be at the highest level both academically and athletically. At five years old, I started playing soccer, and have never looked back. I love the game of soccer now as much as I did when I was five and saw a soccer ball for the first time. My dream is to make it to the highest level, not for the money, not for the fame, but because I love the game. I also love the thought of being able to help people that enjoy the same sport as I do. That is why physical therapy appeals to me. Playing soccer has taught me a lot about injuries and injury prevention and it interests me.
In the end I have one main dream and that is to go to college and get the degree needed for physical therapy, once I have accomplished that, I want to advance as far as I can in my soccer career. I believe that I will be able to do so because I will not forgive myself if I did not try my hardest to get there.
The reason I am who I am is because of my characteristics. The main characteristics that stand out in me are leader-ship, determination competitiveness, hard-working, and tactical. These traits will help me become who I want to be and I will not stop till I am the person I strive to be.
