2017 Highlights #2Personal Statement
I want to be the best athlete I can be and to achieve my goal of playing on a high-level team where I can use my talents to achieve great things for my team and myself. I have been told that I have the ability to see the game in my head before it happens and I can respond to situations and make plays quickly. I want nothing more than to continue to use this talent at the college level where I know I can explode.
I have loved sports; namely soccer since I was old enough to remember and can't imagine my life without a ball at my feet. I want nothing more than to play on a competitive team in college and continue to live my dream.
I have played and trained with some of the best athletes and the experience I have gained is amazing. I work hard on and off the field not only as an athlete, but as a scholar. My good friend Christie Pearce has trained with me many times. She always tells me to continue to work hard and I will fulfill my dream.
