Personal Statement
Every person has someone they look up to, or helps push them so they can reach their goals and succeed beyond that. These people often help shape the person they are mentoring and help them to believe in themselves to become a better person. This person in my life was my Dad. He instilled in me at a young age to never give up and that there is no substitute for hard work. Unfortunately, he battled cancer for many years and passed away in 2017, but if there is one thing I learned from his battle it is to always give your best and to spend your time doing something you love. Soccer has always been a passion of mine, and I use it as a way to motivate myself to make my Dad and Mom proud. Being a multi-sport athlete, I play for him in every game. In college, I want to major in Biology and Psychology to pursue the career of a Psychiatrist. I am choosing this career due to all the difficulties my family encountered and I want to use what I have learned to help others. Through sports, I have learned self-discipline and I think that I would be a valuable asset to a team due to my leadership qualities and my go-getter attitude. I am also known for communicating on the field and I love to play soccer most when my team possesses the ball and we work as a team. I can't wait to continue my academic and athletic career into college to see what I can accomplish for myself, and hopefully impact many others along the way. I am a determined person with a lot of goals, and I won't stop until they are achieved.
