I have been playing soccer since I was 5 years old. My father is active duty military, so I have moved around the world my entire life. In 2017, I moved to Osan AB, South Korea and lived there for two years. I played as much soccer as I could, but did not have the competitive opportunities I had while living in Virginia. Because of my military lifestyle, I have been exposed to many cultures and many different types of people. This makes me a well rounded person who can adapt to whatever challenges I may face. To be honest, I did not take school very seriously at the beginning of my high school career and I regret that very much. I worked very hard my junior year of school to make up for that and continue to work hard in my last year of high school. Being a team captain as a sophomore and a junior has given me the opportunity to develop leadership skills very early in my high school career. I use these skills to motivate my teammates.
