Personal Statement
My name is Reid Koken and I live in Hastings-On-Hudson, NY. I live with my mother and sister, and my dad lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. From the time I can remember, playing professional soccer has always been my life dream. I have overcome many obstacles in my life, all of which have just inspired me to work harder every day to reach my goals. Family, along with my education, are two things that are extremely important to me aside from soccer. As an athlete, playing collegiate soccer is something I have always dreamed about and always wanted, and is what I believe to be huge leap towards fulfilling my aspirations. In college, I hope to work hard, not only on the field, but in the classroom as well. I will continue to stick by my persistent work ethic so I can set up a bright future for myself, and to also repay my family for all they have done for me.
