I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old and it has always been a dream of mine to play in college. However, I am extremely academically minded and tended to focus on my academics. I want to attend a college where I can not only participate in soccer, but also receive a strong education that will help me in all my future plans. I want to go into the medical field, whether as a researcher or physician, and it is extremely important to me that I get there, however I want to enjoy every step of the way. Soccer has always been an important outlet for me and a crucial escape from my school work. I want to play in college because I know that I can be an asset to the team, physically and academically.
