- 2022 Highlights
Personal Statement
My name is Alexis Williamson! A passionate, committed, well-rounded, incoming student athlete. I am a high school senior who plays soccer at the primary position of midfielder.
Our choices can define us and give us the opportunity to be happy in our everyday lives. I choose to spend time with my family because they always know how to put a smile on my face. I choose to strive hard in my academics because I have a thirst for knowledge and am confident that at the end of the day the hard work will be worthwhile and take me closer to my goal of pursuing a field in psychology. I choose to immerse myself in music because it provides an escape from my worries.
Many years ago, my parents introduced me to soccer, and it has become one of my biggest passions. I’ve played soccer and run track for years, and while I thank them for the introduction, I believe their greatest gift was giving me the freedom to choose to stick with them or not. In the ensuing years I have made the CHOICE to continue to pursue soccer and dream of helping to take women’s soccer to a higher level in my country. I choose to attend practices and train hard because I strive to be focused, committed, and coachable — in other words, the best teammate and player I can be for my school, club and national team peers and coaches .
I know as life goes on, I will have more decisions to make, and I am determined to enjoy my journey and for my life to be one worth celebrating. As I approach the end of my high school years, I’m ready to embark on the next phase with excitement for that next big decision/choice in my life – the opportunity to combine two of my biggest passions — the pursuit of more knowledge and playing soccer — at an institution that both challenges and nurtures.
