Personal Statement
I grew up in a large family which taught me the importance of putting others first, the value of hard work, and what real loyalty is. I also figured out how and when to pick which battles, how to compete, and what true friendship really looks like. I started playing soccer when I was eight years old and instantly fell in love. I have had significant wins and incredible loses, but wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. Playing and competing has taught me that hard work isn’t always enough, you need to go the extra mile and give it all you have. It also taught me how to work under pressure and stay calm in intense situations. Soccer has made me value opportunities to challenge myself and revealed to me that I love to improve.
I have always loved to learn and think about things. I understand the merit of education and strive to better my erudition. One of the main ways that I accomplish this comes from computer programming. It provides problems for me to solve and it includes scientific and mathematical theories and principles. I enjoy researching all subjects, not just math and science, although they are my favorite. Programming also allows me to create things which is something I love to do. I’ve programmed multiple websites and games in different computer languages that I taught myself. I get to create sounds and visuals as well as physical things like robots and computers. My love for creation doesn’t stop there though, I love building all kinds of things; I had the good fortune of helping my brother-in-law build his blacksmith forge and I had a blast, it was a great experience.
I love to talk and spend time with people, but I’m also content with being by myself and exploring my many hobbies. I am friendly, honest, and straightforward.
