I believe in the power of athletics as an overall part of mental and physical wellness. Soccer is a place where I feel at home. A place where I can channel my energy in a positive manner. It builds healthy connections to others and connects me with myself. I desire constant improvement and I do not want to stop in high school. I also want to be a productive and responsible adult. I believe that a higher education will empower me in society. I want to major in Psychology and continue my education in hopes of one day becoming a therapist to help others on their way. My father was in the Marines and we moved a lot when I was young. This experience has allowed me to make new friends quickly and the way I have been able to adapt to any new team I found myself on is a testament to this. My faith has made me a caring person. My parents have often been approached by other parents on teams I have played on telling them that they appreciate the way I have treated their daughters and they are glad to have me on their team.
