Personal Statement
Soccer has been a constant source of passion for me throughout my life. I began playing as a young boy when I lived in Austria and it was one of the few things I could bring with me. When I transitioned from the life I knew to the new one in America, soccer was there to keep me focused and grounded. It was a difficult time in my life, filled with confusion and loss, but soccer made me feel at home. I love the game and the positive impact it has had on my daily life. It has taught me the importance of hard work and fostered my dedication to become the best I can be at everything I set my mind to. My naturally competitive nature pushes me to give my all in every game, no matter the score. Soccer has been with me throughout my entire life, and as I prepare for college I know that it must remain an integral part of who I am. My goal is to maintain a high level of scholastic and athletic achievement through the remainder of my high school career and bring my talents to the collegiate level. I believe that I possess the determination, leadership and passion to make a critical impact on your team.
