My name is Thales Andrade Pereira and I am currently a junior at Pewaukee High School. I moved into this historically successful football program from a small school around a year ago, and previous to that, I lived in Brazil. Naturally, I was fairly talented at soccer and played for several years until moving to Wisconsin in 2014. I first started playing football in 2014, and my coaches suggested that I tried kicking, and while it was somewhat of a rough transition from a soccer ball to a football at first, I feel like my ambitions to become better have lead me to improving my skills. Although I have had lots of improvement, I feel like my potential goes further and my determination will bring me more.
In school, I have been able to keep my grades up with a 3.8 GPA by prioritizing my education and also participating in classes, as I feel like my communication and public speaking skills are on my strong side. My primary goal is to obtain a college degree which will prepare me for the job world. I wish to go into the field of business, marketing and financing and hope to find a school that will be able to arrange that for me. I also seek for a school which will be a good fit for me athletically, because not only do I feel like I have the skills to keep improving to a higher level, but sports also refine character.
Thank you for your time, I hope to hear from you soon.
