2016 Highlights Personal Statement
I am a senior at McCallum High School and am in the Fine Arts Program with a focus on band. I play in both the marching band and the Wind Ensemble. I take pre-AP and AP classes at McCallum. Recently, I won a gold medal at the State UIL for Music for my playing of the clarinet, and have been named to the Wind Ensemble, the top orchestra. In addition to music, I am very interested in math -- recently getting a 5 on the AP exam for Calculus -- and science.
Finally, there is of course soccer. I have been playing soccer since I was 5 on various recreational and club teams. The last few years I have been playing on select club teams at a high level -- including the River City Rangers 01 Team, the Lone Stars 00/99 team and now the 00/01 Lone Stars Red team-- which is a Texas Champions League League team and is very competitive.
Last year, as a junior, I was the starting attacking midfielder at McCallum on the varsity team. We made the play-offs for the first time in many years. I ended the season with six goals and six assists, and was also named to the first team in our Austin Independent School District all-star team.
Finally, in my busy life, I am a member of Troop 28, which is hosted by First Lutheran English Church. I have been to Philmont as the crew leader and am about to go a second time. I have already completed my Eagle project and only need to complete my application to be an Eagle, as I have finished all my required merit badges.
I am a very busy young man, with band, soccer, boy scouts and academics but I would be very interested in continuing to play soccer at a good academic college. Hopefully somewhere that is also good for hiking, music and science. I have a particular interest in biology, ecology and marine biology.

- 2016 2016-2017 Rangers 2000 Team (Division One)
- Because of the change nationally, I had to move up to the 2000 team since I was born in 2000. So I am playing in the Rangers but moving up with those born in 2000. I have a new coach, Steve Elizalde. We had a tough season on the new team, losing most of our games. I played mainly attacking midfield. I personally had a good season, scoring four goals and making 8 assists, but our team had problems!
- 2016 River City Rangers (Austin) (State Classic/ State Cup Spring)
- I have played several years for River City Rangers. For 2016, we were successful making the regional playoffs for the State Cup but losing 1-0 to a good Lone Star team. I played a variety of positions from central midfield to right midfield to occasionally striker.

NoAwards and Activities
- AwardsAs a freshman I attended LASA, the Liberal Arts and Science Academy, a magnet high school in Austin. We actually play our sports with LBJ High School so I am on the High School Soccer Team. I decided to change to McCallum High School, my home school, for Sophomore year and applied and was accepted to the Fine Arts Academy there. While I enjoyed LASA, having time for Boy Scouts, Band and Soccer is important and McCallum will allow me to concentrate on academics and these other activities. I was in the top 10 % of my class this year and received two awards - one for having at least a 90 percent average all year, and a special Latin Excellence award for having the highest GPA for a Hispanic student at McCallum High School.
- ActivitiesBoy Scout -- Have completed all requirements, and just need to finish paperwork and final interview to be Eagle Scout. I went to Philmont in 2016 and was the Crew Leader. We hiked about 70 miles in the mountains of New Mexico. LBJ Marching Band and LBJ Symphonic Band -- 2015-2016 McCallum Marching Band and Symphonic Band -- 2016-2017 As a soloist I made it the state finals in the UIL competition, earning a Silver Medal. 2017-2018 was in wind ensemble and earned a gold medal at UIL competition.
