Personal Statement
My name is Stella Rabago and I am currently a senior at Branham High School. I recently completed my junior year with a 4.0 (unweighted) GPA. As I enter my senior year, I am planning on majoring in education or speech pathology. When I am not playing high school soccer during the winter, I play club for San Jose Surf and I am also affiliated with Surf Select, a statewide travel program. I love interacting with my teammates and having fun both on and off the field. With that, I am team captain and that comes with the responsibility of being a leader on and off the field, as well as stepping up whenever needed. Often, I run practice, lead pep talks, and provide an outlet for many of my teammates to express not only their opinions on the team, but also any problems they may be running into apart from soccer. Moreover, I enjoy the time spent with my team and my friends off the field. Many describe me as hard working and tenacious. Furthermore, I am looking forward to the next academic steps towards graduation and becoming an athlete at the collegiate level.
