Personal Statement
Family, academics and soccer have all been priorities in my life. To challenge myself and play at the highest level, I chose to travel about 1 ½ hours each way to play for the Vardar Michigan soccer club. This forced me to manage my time carefully to maintain the high academic standards I set for myself. My parents have made a tremendous sacrifice with their time and money to allow me to continue to play and train at a high level. I have repaid them with my hard work and commitment to both academics and athletics. At this point in my life, my dream would be to get accepted into an outstanding academic institution that would also allow me to play soccer.
I have always enjoyed and put a lot of effort into the training aspect of soccer. I feel I understand what it means to be a supportive teammate on and off the field. Gaining the respect and approval of my coach has kept me a driven athlete.
I continue to challenge myself in school by taking honors and AP/IB courses. With this being my junior year in high school, ACT/SAT prep is an additional focus to keep me on track academically.
