Personal Statement
My goal is to play college soccer at the highest level of competition and at a school that is academically strong. My club team competes in the USYS National League and in the top division of the Midwest Regional League. I currently play left wingback (#3) and also have experience playing left forward (#11), right forward (#7), outside mid (#8) and attacking mid (#10). My key strengths include speed of play and thought, good first touch, and the ability to accurately connect short and long passes. I also regularly engage in tackles to win the ball back for my team. Although I'm naturally left-footed, I can use both feet equally well. My coach also compliments me on my work rate in games and in practice.
I have a strong academic track record and am interested in studying Astrophysical Sciences or Engineering. At the end of my first semester of Freshman year, my high school counselor chose me to represent my class in an Advisory Council for the Freshman Mentor Program. She told me that she sees me as a leader inside and outside of the classroom. I also actively participate in philanthropy programs and am currently a member of the Free the Children club at my high school. I also serve as a Leadership Intern at Oak Grove Camp Invention.
