For as long as I can remember I have had a soccer ball at my feet, thanks to my parents. Without them, I wouldn't be the person I am today. The way I became interested with soccer is when I was 4 years old, and my dad signed me up for a local league. From the on, I have fell in love with the beauty of the game. Throughout the entire time I have played this game. I have learned that life will not always be fair, and sometimes you will get knock down, but you have to get back up and persevere. For instance, my freshman year my team made it to district tournaments and was put out in the semifinals, and although I didn't play much that year, being out there and realizing what a special connection the players had made me strive for that, for the following year. That made me grow as a person as well as an athlete, due to the fact that it made me strive to be the teammate to lead and encourage my fellow teammates. I have been blessed with hardly any obstacles throughout my career . My academic goals, are to graduate high school with a minimum 3.7 GPA, but for college I want to get either my Law degree or Become a Physical Therapist.
