August 2014Personal Statement
My main goal in life is to leave having made a difference. This plays into my career as a soccer player because I want to always do my best to make the team better, whether it's improving my shot or encouraging a teammate. My leadership skills are strong and continue to develop on and off the field. On the field, I am a team player and am always very aware of the team and what I can say to help someone out and make them better. I am also always looking for opportunities to learn from my teammates. Off the field, I am a Peer Mediator at my high school and through this program of helping people with their challenges, my leadership and people skills continue to develop. I stand up for what is right and I want to go through high school having made a difference. One day I hope to make a difference by helping people through the field of psychology or education.
