My dream is to go further in my life with soccer. I have a huge passion for the game. A goal I want to succeed is to play professional soccer. I have dedication that I put into soccer and Ive always gave it my all in any situation. Im ready to prosper further into this sport by playing college soccer. I have a tolerance to be pushed over the limit, thats how I was taught and how I was trained. This past season, I led my team in scoring with 20 goals. I had 5 assists on top of that. Before my season, I attended a soccer camp at University of Kentucky. On my weekends Morehead states club soccer team will ask me if I would play with them when they play other college soccer teams or clubs. I have been playing Club soccer for a team in Ashland, KY named Eastern Kentucky Futbal Club, aka the Trojans. My U18 team has recently won the Thunder in the Valley tournament at Marshall University, WV. In my personal life Ive been working on doing things for my peers and my community. This new Teen Court progam started this year where the kids charged with a crime have the options to attend court as normal standards or to attend with peers of his or her own school, in which who decide their punishment. We are the attorneys, bailiff, clerk, and jury. Our first cases should start in December. My perserverance in school keeps growing each day. Of course ive had some times when i didnt get something, but I never hesitated to ask about it or stay after class and work on my grades. I am a very positive student and I love to pursue the things I want.
