Personal Statement
I am a 5'3" center forward and attacking midfielder from Altadena, CA and will graduate in the year of 2020. I earned a spot on the 2002 Legends FC Flight 1 team with Coach George Sippa. I am looking for a school where I would be challenged for both my education and athletics. A school with an exceptional Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program. I am willing to do everything in my power to show that I am deserving to play and stay off the bench, but most importantly willing to make the necessary sacrifices to better the team even if it means sitting on the bench from time to time, preferably as little as possible. I am experienced with most of the positions on the field and would be prepared to play any of them.
Even though I live in Altadena I think it is very crucial that I keep a broad view of my surroundings. Based on my families current financial situation it would be a lot easier for me to stay close to home, here in California. However, my father continues to emphasize that if I focus and work hard enough, financially there will always be someone there to help. With this in mind, I understand the importance of the education that my athletic ability can assist with. My current financial situation will not deter me from achieving my academic goals, even as an athlete.
