Personal Statement
Growing up, Iʻve played a variety of sports including basketball, football, baseball, volleyball and soccer. While Iʻve enjoyed each of these sports, soccer has been my passion since the beginning. I recently completed my junior year at Kapaʻa High School on Kauai, Hawaii and I already have three years as a starter on the Varsity Soccer team. I have also had multiple opportunities to play club soccer and futsal on the other Hawaiian Islands and in the mainland. While I love the game of soccer, I am grateful for the life lessons I learn from the sport such as teamwork, leadership, setting and achieving goals, responsibility and dependability.
I am looking for a program where I can succeed both athletically and academically. I believe I have the athletic ability, character and work-ethic to make an impact on your program. Though I live on such a remote island, I am interested in schools both in Hawaii and in the continental U.S. Financial assistance will be important to me as my family will have high need. As a three-sport high school athlete (football, soccer, and volleyball), I know I have what it takes to be a contributor and leader on your team.
