Personal Statement
As a high school freshman, I am just beginning my high school journey. As a middle school student, academics were very important to me. I have been recognized as a Granville County Student of Merit for maintaining a 90% average or greater in 6th, 7th and 8th Grade. I was also selected into the National Junior Honor Society for 7th and 8th Grade. Currently, I am enrolled in the STEM program at Granville Central High School and would like to pursue a degree in Chemical Engineering in college.
I started playing soccer in the South Granville Athletic Association rec league when I was 4 years old and I have loved playing soccer ever since. My step-dad coached several of my teams and has helped me become a more competitive player.
At Butner-Stem Middle School, I was a Co-Captain for both my 7th and 8th grade soccer seasons. In 8th grade, we finished the 2016 season, 10-2 and 2nd in the MAC10 Conference. I was a starter both seasons and played Center Back. I was recognized as Best Defender for the 2016 season at the BSMS Athletic Awards Ceremony.
I was also on the Butner-Stem Track team during 8th grade competing in the 100m, 200m and 4x200m relay. I placed 3rd in the 100m MAC10 Conference meet. I competed in AAU Track & Field with the Carolina Roadrunners in the 400m and 800m in 2017. I qualified and went on to compete in the 400m and 800m at the 2017 AAU Junior Olympics in Ypsilanti, MI. I plan to run track for Granville Central High School as well.
Currently, I am a starter on the Granville Central JV Soccer team and play Center Back. I feel that running track has helped me become a better soccer player by increasing my endurance & my speed gives me a competitive advantage on the field.
When I am not playing sports, I enjoy playing guitar and learning to play new songs. I play acoustic and electric guitar and ukulele.
I look forward to competing these next four years and would love to have the opportunity to play soccer in college. My commitment to academics, as well as on the soccer field would make me an excellent student athlete at the college level.
