2024 SpotlightPersonal Statement
I've always dreamed of playing soccer at the college and pro level! I started playing soccer and other sports when I was young. Playing different sports helped me learn how to be disciplined, work well in a team, and be a competitive player. Sometimes, I played multiple sports at the same time, which taught me how to manage my time and balance school, sports, and family. I live by the saying, "Do your best, and God will handle the rest." If I put in 110% effort into everything I do, I know I won't have any regrets.
Soccer is a HUGE part of my life, but I also love learning. I go to a great school in Homewood and I'm always trying to challenge myself with AP classes and leadership opportunities. I want to push myself both on and off the field!
