excellence has been a personal goal of mine since i was a child, ever since i recognized how good it feels to succeed, i have done everything i can to find and earn that success in whatever i set my mind to. ever since i began my soccer career at 6 years old i have learned the value of hard work and appreciating the role one plays in a huge team or organization. my hard work has paid off, i have earned awards, i have even earned to be captain of my team. being captain of my high school team have contributed to a great feeling. my high school is an organization that has done many things to help me understand my strength and value as an individual. therefore i always strive to better myself as a person and as a soccer player to become a great athlete and person.
