2023 Spotlight
2022 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My goals in college are to play NCAA soccer in a vigorous athletic environment and also be challenged academically and prepared for my future career aspirations within the medical field. I play for South Carolina United 08 Boys ECNL and start at the center midfield position, but I also play center back or any position my coach needs me to play there as I believe that the team comes first. Center back and midfield roles are where I can contribute to my team the most. I control the tempo of the game and speed of play, win aerial duels, pass the ball and drive out of the back effectively, and also get stuck into tackles when needed. I am a leader, and I like to play with my teammates during games and tell them to do things more effectively. I also applaud them whenever they play well. I am a rising senior at Spring Valley High School and top 4 in my class. I also lead numerous high profile clubs that I also truly value. I was recently elected as president for Mu Alpha Theta (National Math Honor Society) and re-elected as International Club president and I hope to continue with major leadership roles over my final year of high school, as well as college and beyond. I aim to play soccer in a college with a highly reputable academic program and also serve the community with passion and leadership.
