Personal Statement
Playing soccer is my passion and here in Brazil I play since I was three. During that journey I’ve passed through a lot of clubs, always on their main team. Winning the Helsinki Cup tournament in 2019 with my team (Ordin FC) was my high light and that time I’ve learned the importance of hard work and the values of teamwork, respect and leadership. With no doubt those values will help me for the rest of my life academically and athletically speaking and also in terms of personality. One of those years I had to find my space in an older category and this was a real challenge to me but I have succeeded. I’m sure that playing with older mates made me stronger in a lot of ways, and this can put me in advantage above other student-athletes.
Something that is helping and will help me off the field, I mean, academically speaking, is the American High school that I'm doing here in Brasil. This program is a partnership between my school (Colégio Dante Alighieri) and Missouri University. All the classes are in English and with the American schedule. At the end of this program I will receive a recognized diploma that will help me enter high level universities in US.
My goal is to play and study at the highest level and finding a program that fits me I believe it is the right path to follow. I was 2 times champion of big tournaments here in Brazil, wearing the jersey 10 and 07, Played high levels tournaments as Gothia Cup, Dana Cup and Helsinki Cup, also Won in Helsinki. So I believe I have what is necessary to be a leader on your team!
