Saralez Mejia '19 Recruiting Profile

Soccer was always an interest to me since I was very small but i never had the opportunity to play it until I was around the age of 9. I didnt know much about it but i had the speed and the strength to keep up with the other team. I love competion i won’t give up till either your on the floor or I can’t go anymore.Ive been playing compative soccer since I was in the 6th grade and from there and then I knew thats what i wanted to do for the rest of my life. Soccer is that thing that i can wake up to when my stepdad is watching a game and the thing i can fell asleep to. Im always watching games go try to learn a little more on what i can improve on. Since I’ve played high school soccer its difficult because my team is not the best varsity in the world but you know what you have to learn to work around that and not let anything get in your way of becoming a better player. That’s what I’ve been trying to do since I made Gateway High School soccer team last year. I was the caption as a freshman, but this year I wasn’t caption but it doesn’t always take a caption to be coachable and helpful to someone when they need it. Soccer will always be a passion never a habit. 

When I was 8 I would always be watching NCIS, Criminal Minds, CSI Miami, etc. That not the usual thing that an 8 year old should be inserted in but Saralez Mejia was. I loved watching it it was the thing that I love doing before soccer came into the picture. If you give me a book that is not solving a mystery I won’t read it.I’ve always liked complex things, not just things that are told to you.I will always be a student before an athlete. Forensic science is my main insert.
