Personal Statement
I started watching soccer at the age of 9 and the first game I watched was Barcelona against Manchester United in the UEFA champions league finals where Barcelona won by 3 goals to one. That was my first time witnessing the great phenomena and the worlds best player, Messi. Ever since he has been my icon and my inspiration. Ever since that day I have been determined to play for the Spanish giants, Barcelona. Every day after classes I ensure that I am the first to get onto the pitch and last one out after training. In every match I play I try my best to mimic my icon Jordi Alba when I play left back and I always put all my effort in order to emerge victorious.
The main reason I need this scholarship is due to the lack of facilities in my country and the imbalance in our education system whereby sports are not taken as seriously as they should be.
In class I do my best by listening to teachers and setting aside a few extra hours for studying. In my last exam I scored a B+ (a mean of 72.111).
Personally I believe that working hard and smart is the only way to succeed in life.
In the future I wish to achieve the following:
Play for Barcelona FC
Play in the MLS
Play in the English Premier league
Win a Fifa Puskas Award
Become a Mechanical Engineer
