Personal Statement
I have been playing soccer since I was a little boy, and I have always had a passion for soccer. I played forward for many years, and just a few years ago I switched to outside defender and midfielder at the recommendation of my coaches. I am now move involved in the game, and I am able to help set the tone of the game, while still making the occasional run up the sideline for scoring opportunities. I have always wanted to play soccer in college, but I have other aspirations as well. I spent several years in the Boy Scout program and had the goal to earn the rank of Eagle scout. It took several years of determination and hard work, but I was able to earn the rank of Eagle Scout when I was 15. In addition to soccer, I also run track in high school to maintain endurance and speed. I plan to get a degree in Business and work for the US Government as a cost or financial analyst. Although playing soccer in college is a dream, getting a college degree is my future. I want to attend a school that allows me the opportunity fulfill both of those goals.
