Personal Statement
As a goalkeeper I have faced defeats and disappointments, but I have never let that phase me because I always get back up on my feet faster than before. It's those defeats that make playing and winning rewarding. For most kids getting picked up late from kindergarten may be seen as an unending nightmare, but for me it was a blessing. When my mother was tardy to pick me up, my school sent me to the after school program of Super Soccer Stars. This was the first time I had learned to play soccer and yet it felt so familiar. I have been with them ever since. My loyalty lies to this club which is not unlike family. Saving goals is what I do. But being part of the team is who I am. I plan to do the same when I continue my studies in college. My athletic goal is to play at the highest possible competitive level of soccer.
