One of the best words to describe my work ethic both on and off the field is Determined. I have been playing soccer since I was four years old and have always worked to be the best that I can be as a player and a teammate. I put a great deal of energy and time into the sport and always look to take away as much as I can from training sessions with my teammates, games, and my time with my coaches. I have always been a supportive and positive teammate and believe that good relationships are key in order to be a successful team. As a student, I work equally as hard, putting much time into my classwork and striving to be an active participant during class lessons. I have been an AP scholar throughout HS and have been taking classes for college credit since last year. I have spent time over the years volunteering in my community with several organizations. I have recently begun to spend time as a volunteer soccer trainer with TOP Soccer. With TOP Soccer, I spend time on weekends working with children with different disabilities and providing an opportunity to learn basic soccer skills and to play in games with their peers. This experience has been a very special one and I have been happy to share my love of soccer with these children. I am looking to continue playing soccer in college and believe that my strong work ethic, supportive personality, and positive attitude make me a strong candidate for any team.
