I have played soccer my entire life. I realized early on in life that soccer wasn't just a game, it was something I needed in my life. I have a passion for it. As a kid I had a lot of natural talent, but as I got older I realized I had to work harder than I was used to. I started varsity as a freshman and won offensive awards 2 years in a row. Also receiving honorable mentions for all region and maintaining a high GPA while playing a sport. I play soccer all year round for club and school and I maintain great grades. Soccer has given me skills that I will use for the rest of my life, including responsibility, teamwork, and commitment. I am thrilled to have learned these skills at a young age, which will continue to become more developed. I plan to use these skills and more to become very successful during and after high school and college and later in my career. It has also taught me to be a leader. Even though I am still young myself, I am someone that younger players look up to as a role model in soccer. I am very encouraging and have a positive attitude that radiates throughout my team. I am a very physical and experienced player and I know I will be ready to play at the college level as I graduate in 2019.
