My name is Bijou Benoit, I currently play for LA fire as well as Varsity soccer at Ben Franklin High School where I take all honors and AP classes with an interest in pursuing a career in STEM. I made my high school's varsity team as a freshman but due to LHSAA zipcode guidlines I could not play in games, so this year is my first year on varsity and we made it all the way to state finals. I've been playing soccer for 11 years, and my love for the sport has continuously grown the more I play. Playing soccer at the collegiate level has always been my dream, soccer has not only helped me physically but mentally because it has created a safe space that can always make me happy.
