I have always been interested in soccer from on the sidelines to on the field. I enjoy the game as a spectator watching and learning and as a player making the plays and winning games. I started playing soccer at the age of 6. Over the last 10 years of my life, my love for the game has only grown. My favorite part of soccer is competing with myself and others to win and bringing out the best of me. I also enjoy traveling with my family and teammates. These times make unforgettable memories. As I continue my soccer journey, I want to play collegiately and professionally. Once my professional days come to an end, I could see myself as a coach. Teaching younger players to love the game of soccer would be an excellent experience. Over the next years of my life, I will keep pursuing my dream of soccer and see where it takes me.
