I recognised the future I have in soccer upon undergoing my first 11-a-side game in 2008 in Little League. The knowledge and skills I learnt from then on finalised my aspiration to become an elite level soccer player.

My goal is to travel abroad to America to become one of the best talents in your college, and to help and drive your team to success and many victories, this will be achieved through my leadership skills in which I acquire which enables me to stand out from other players on the field.
