Personal Statement
I’ve been playing on my school soccer team since the 8th grade. Playing soccer for Avon Middle High School has been fun and challenging. During my time with the team, my speed, agility, and leadership skills have improved significantly. I would like to take my love for the game of soccer to the next level by playing in college. I believe that my skills can be useful to a college program. I’m interested in learning about scholarship opportunities which could help minimize the cost of pursuing a degree in engineering. In addition to playing soccer, I play the flute in my school’s band, am a member of Student Council, National Honor Society, played on the basketball and baseball teams. The speed and agility skills acquired in soccer transitioned well in these other sports. I enjoyed the challenge of playing those sports for the first time.
