College was not always an option for me, given that I wasn't consistently starting as a player and struggled to maintain a certain level of performance. However, as I have matured, I've begun to discover myself not only from a football (soccer) perspective but also in various aspects of my life. Over the past few years, I have identified my passion, determined what I want to pursue, and made a commitment to hold myself accountable. I have pledged to uphold high standards, both on and off the field, and to persistently strive to be the best teammate and person I can be. As I started witnessing positive changes in my performance, I also noticed significant improvements in my personal life. These changes include being a better teammate, taking better care of my body and mental health, and consistently maintaining a positive mindset for whatever challenges I encounter. As I continue to grow and mature, a genuine desire to play football at the collegiate level has emerged. I am fully committed to excelling not only as an athlete but also as a student. I understand that facing challenges and persevering through tough times is essential for achieving my goal. I am prepared to put in the extra hours, sacrifice sleep, and endure the inevitable pain that comes with the journey. Yet I have never been more excited and determined to continue pursuing this path.
