- 2021 Highlights
Personal Statement
My name is Alyssa Tobiassen and I am a junior(class of 2022) at Palm Harbor University High School(2500+ students), in Palm Harbor, Florida. In 2018-19, I lettered in Varsity cross country and was 1 of 3 freshman girls who made the 21 member varsity soccer team. The 2018-19 PHU varsity girls soccer team won the Pinellas County Championship, the Regional Championship, and the Florida Class 5A(2500+ students) State Soccer Championship. In 2019-20, our PHU varsity soccer team finished 15-2-2, losing in regionals to Plant H.S. I usually play attacking or outside midfield for my club soccer team, the Clearwater Chargers. In High School and Club I have played holding, center, attacking, and outside midfield positions, depending on the opposition, formation and situation. In the 2021-22 season, I captained our PHU girls soccer team and we finished the season 22-2, won the conference, district, and regional championships, and sadly lost 1-0 in the State semi final game to the #1 team in the State(#4 US). I may not be the biggest soccer player, but I make up for size with hustle, heart, speed and technically proficient soccer play. Academically, I have a 3.7 unweighted GPA(4.2 weighted), completed two years in the IB program at PHU, and am taking AP Calculus, AP English Literature, and AP Psychology this year. I believe my success in school, soccer, and cross country are due to my determination, hard work ethic, and competitive nature. My outside interests include church related activities such as youth group, a contemporary music band, and frequent babysitting. I also belong to Key Club at my high school which provides active volunteering at local charity events and programs. Of course, I additionally enjoy time hanging out with my friends and my soccer teammates. I hope to go to an academically strong school that has a good liberal arts or economics program and play soccer for a talented , competitive, and fun coach who runs a successful program.
