I started playing soccer when I was 4 years old after seeing other kids playing at the park. Playing soccer has taught me to never give up in anything I do and the importance of hard work. One of my current goals is achieve at least a 3.5 GPA. My long-term academic goals are unclear but I want to obtain at least a bachelors degree. The most influential moment of my soccer career was getting cut from the Boca United team just before the start of the season, leaving me with nowhere to go. My options were limited and that motivated me to work harder and get even better. Some of my defining characteristics are that I don’t like to lose, I will always give 100% effort, and I work well with other people. I would like to continue playing soccer at the collegiate level and join a team that allows me to further develop my skills and contribute to the team's success.
