I love to play sports. If I am at home with nothing to do, I recruit the neighborhood kids for a game of something in the street. Soccer is my true passion. I have been playing since I was 4, and have been on a club team almost continually since I was 8. I am also a highly motivated student; 6 out of my 7 classes this year were at the highest level offered by the high school. I would love to combine my love for sports and science into a career like sports medicine or physical therapy. I am so excited by the prospect of continuing to play competitive soccer after I leave high school. At practice, I am the first one to arrive and the last one to leave. As goalkeeper, I believe that it is my responsibility to be a leader on and off the field.
