Personal Statement
Hi, my name is Erin Bolskar and I am currently a student-athlete at Muskego High School in Muskego, Wisconsin. I am 18 years old and will graduate with the class of 2016. I have been playing soccer since I was about 6, and in the beginning I did it to be active and try something new, but over time as I have grown older I have truly learned to love the game, and all the challenge, skill, and creativity that it involves. While playing soccer I have also learned that one of my dreams is to continue my soccer journey in college, where I would be able to continue one of my favorite things and at the same time earn a college education.
Playing soccer at a high level in college has grown to become one of my goals. I am very determined and extremely hard working in whatever I do. I have good technical skills, pace, and attitude that all combine to make a great understanding of the game that I know could make an impact on any college team.
In the classroom, I put in the same determination and hard work that I do on the soccer field. I think academics are tremendously important, so I study and work really hard to maintain a high GPA. I also try to volunteer at various youth camps and at different organizations to stay involved in my community.
I want to attend a college where I can challenge myself both academically and athletically. I am open to all types of schools, but ultimately want to commit to a college where I could fit in and contribute to the school and the community and above all take my education and soccer talent to the next level!
