Personal Statement
For me soccer wasn't love at first site, when I look back I always remember on those Saturday mornings and afternoons I would rather want to be watching cartoons then the EPL. However, sometimes when my Dad had to work he would ask me to watch the games for him and keep track. In some miraculous way the game grew on me and I soon fell in love with every part of it. It was the noise of the crowds, the emotion of the commentators, and the skill on display. The combination of all these things together were what made me pick up a soccer ball. My journey in this sport has not been glamorous to say the least; there have been times when I've truly had to ask myself if I could go on, but through all the bad situations I've adopted a mindset of "I Can". This mantra means that I should be always willing to give my all and be confident no matter what. I plan to take this mindset into the college setting on and off the pitch. No matter what college I go to my main goal is to continue my development and strive to become the professional I want to be. This goal isn't just for me but for my parents and sisters who have always been for me all my life.
