Personal Statement
I started playing soccer at age 5 for a club house league. I moved to travel soccer at age 8 and that's when I realized how much I love this game. I've been playing for the same club since I moved to travel soccer. The first travel tournament I played in, I scored 2 hat tricks, but at the time i was playing offense. I didn't like offense as much as i did defending, so I started playing defense - specifically outside back (both sides of the field). My team has been through many tournaments, finishing first in almost all of them - including first in MRL. I have also played in small private leagues to work on my skills as a defender. I really like teaching the game as well as playing it. I´ve helped my Dad coach younger teams as a mentor. I work hard daily to be the best I can be.
I've battled for most of my life with dyslexia. This affects my ability to read efficiently in both math and english classes. One day I'd like to try and help others with dyslexia like everyone that's helped me. I've set my academic goal to reach and maintain at least a 3.0 gpa.
My athletic goal is to make it as far as possible as I can in the sport of soccer. My coaches, teachers family and peers would say I am polite, friendly, loyal, dedicated, determined, funny and hard working.
