Personal Statement
Soccer has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since the age of 4, I've been completely immersed in the game as a player and a fan. Some of the best memories of my life have been on a soccer field or in the stands. Soccer has been nothing but good for me thoughout my life, from me realizing my passion, to keeping me healthy, to helping me develop leadership skills. On almost every team that I have been on throughout my years of playing, I have been the captain, including currently on the varsity team.
Just as important to me as my athletic life is my academic life. I have continuously challenged myself taking multiple honors and AP classes throughout my first 3 years of high school and plan to continue doing so. I want to find a program that not only has the athletic program that I would be looking for, but also one that will allow me to challenge myself academically to set me up for the rest of my life with a good education. Balancing both sports and education has been a challenge, but one that has taught me valuable skills of time-management, hard work, and determination. All of these qualities will be vital to me playing at the next level.
