Personal Statement

My name is Joseph Velasco, Jr.  I am currently a junior at Shawnee High School in Medford, New Jersey, and a member of the PDA Soccer Club.  I am a passionate and dedicated soccer player with a strong work ethic both on and off the field.  My love for soccer drives me to develop my skills and work to improve all aspects of my game.  My passion for soccer has taken me on an incredible life journey, which included a trip to play in England.

As a center midfielder, I believe I bring a combination of technical, physical, and mental skills, to the field.  I take pride in my discipline, teamwork, and resilience, which have allowed me to excel in competitive environments and adapt to various challenges.  I am committed to improving my skills, learning from coaches, and pushing myself to new limits.  I believe I can make a positive impact at the collegiate level because I am determined, hardworking, and willing to face any challenge.  My goal is to enthusiastically represent my college soccer team, while contributing to the team's success.  I am willing to put in the necessary time and effort to accomplish this goal.

Of course, my interests extend beyond the soccer field. I truly understand and appreciate the value of a college education.  My family has always instilled in me the importance of education and intellectual curiosity.  Both of my parents graduated from college.  In addition, my father and two uncles are attorneys, and I have several cousins in college, as well as one in law school and one in veterinarian school.  My family not only inspires me to further my education, but they have supported me every step of the way and serve as a model of academic success.  My educational goals include pursuing an undergraduate degree in business/finance.

I am excited about the prospects of taking my skills and passion to the next level and joining a collegiate soccer program that shares my commitment to success.
