Personal Statement
My name is Thomas James and I am a junior at Dakota High School, graduating in 2022. I have been playing soccer since I was 6 years old and playing with Nationals for 7 years. I worked my way up from playing on the lowest team in my age group to playing on the highest team in my age group in three and a half years. I have played defense and forward, but I am strongest as center defensive midfielder. My strength and speed are an asset to both the offense and defense. My goal is to control the center and to be a leader on the field. On my high school varsity team I was a starting player and received an All State Honorable Mention for the 2020 season. I have a strong work ethic, determination and desire to be the best I can be on and off the field.
