Personal Statement
Growing up with a military dad and a Dutch mom in the Netherlands, soccer has always been my dream and passion. My goal has always been to reach the highest level of play possible, since the age of 3 I have worked to always better myself on and off the field. My eagerness to learn and my determination has made me a very coachable player who works hard while I achieve my personal and team goals. Now 70 pounds lighter playing soccer at my best is easier compared to before. I am a team player, and as the captain for my team I want the best for everyone. the more the team bonds and works together the better the results will be. Off the field family plays a key role In my life. As a student between sophomore and junior year I have grown incredibly, besides my athletics I understand the importance of a great education. Helping others is a hobby of mine, because giving to people and the reaction they give back makes this all worthwhile.
