Personal Statement
I grew up watching my older sister play soccer from a young age. I followed her down that path and i fell in love with the game. I learned how hard i can push my self and how much drive i have than everyone else. I am more in love with the work and the practicing than the game itself. I have many goals for myself and i have completed many. My main goal is to become the best soccer player i can be and play at the highest level i can. I want to graduate high school with honors and be top 10 or 15 in my class. I want to go to college for criminal justice or construction management.
When i was 10 or 11 My left knee started hurting and it only happened when i ran or played soccer or did anything athletic. I went to a doctor and they said i had osgood-schlatter disease. He said it would go away by the age of 14 or 15, it was a terrible pain. I have had many other pains with both knees. It has affected me in the years i have been playing but recently it has been getting better and its not affecting my play anymore. All my coaches have seen me go through pain but they have also seen me get mentally stronger from this. They say i have the eyes for the game and i can see the field very well.
