Personal Statement
I am a student athlete in Tucson, Arizona, who desires to play college soccer. My goal is to achieve excellent academic standing during my four years in high school and continue to develop as a soccer player. I have consistently earned A’s and B’s throughout my years in school. I earned a 3.91 GPA last semester and again earned honor roll recognition. I lead by example in the classroom and on the field, and look to make a difference in my community by helping people. I have volunteered at a refugee center and a local church in my hometown as well as a community food bank center located in a nearby border city. I feel it is very important to find time to give back to the community while balancing my priorities such as school, family, and soccer activities.
I am a highly skilled player who spends a great deal of time outside of practice and competitive matches studying the game. I am very quick, technically sound, and offensive minded. Here are my accomplishments:
