2022 SpotlightPersonal Statement
Hi I'm Vijay Romero, I'm a junior from Atlanta, GA. I go to Atlanta International School and I am goalkeeper for the Varsity Team and for Concorde Fire SCCL P1. I never try to put myself above the team because no one is above the team. I have a 3.9 GPA which is above average and I'm very passionate about my studies especially History and Economics. I always try to encourage my teammates and whenever a mistake is made, whether it be by me or by my teammate, I remind them or myself that they're better than the mistake that was made. I also am a big proponent of making a team essentially a second family. I am accepting of everyone from any walk of life and try to make them feel like the important part of the team that they are. I want to go as far as one can go in soccer and I want to be the best at what I do. I'm always open to listening to anyone and everyone who offers advice.
