Personal Statement
I'm Dennis Pecherskiy, a Junior at Newton South High School. In High School soccer, I was a DCL All-Star this past 2018 fall season. I play soccer for Valeo F.C. NPL as an outside back or as a winger for my team. I have been on soccer trips for my club and ODP (Olympic Development Program) such as when I visited Portugal, Austria, and Germany. There, I played against elite academies such as Red Bull Salzburg and Olympiacos. With my club, I have traveled to Spain and Portugal to participate in the Iber Cup, a tournament my team has won in both the summer of 2017 and 2018. These experiences have helped me develop as a better soccer player and person and have made me realize that I must work harder than any one of my peers at anything I do, whether it be in sport or academics.
