When I was 4 years old I first touched a soccer ball and I knew that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. As I grew older I dreamed of being on a high school team and as that dream has just been made reality I now have the dream of playing at a collegiate level. I understand that this will be a hard journey but I am willing to put my all into the things that I love; because I love this sport so much I have goals. My goals as an athlete are to use my talents that God has given me to do something that I love. But what may be arguably more important is the education aspect. Using my traits of leadership, determination, and perseverance I am able to succeed in both the athletic and academic world. I also think these traits can make me a good candidate as well as my ability to work with others and thrive under pressure. The main thing that sets me aside from others is the work I put into the things I love and the determination that comes along with that.
