My collegiate goals are to balance athletics and academics, i want to  achieve academic success in college as well as lasting friendships, Enjoy my college life make memories, and get opportunities and take advantage to strive in my college life and academics and use them in the long run  

I fell in love with the soccer when I was 7 years old, I fell in love with competing and having a second family that I could count on. The game of soccer brings me so much joy and heart, my freshman we got to the final for state cup club and we previous gotten there the past two years but lost in PKs. My freshman year was different my whole team came to play and was extremely focused, As the center midfielder I knew I had to be aggressive and patient with the ball and make good runs, When the game started my team and I were keeping good possession. Four minutes into the first half me and my attacking forward were taking the ball down midfield and she passes it to me and were at least 25 yards away from the goal and I decide to take the shot, it went into the top left Conner. The crowed went wild and my teammates came running to me with so much joy and love and that's when I knew to never back down and keep working because one day you will on the top. So as student athlete  I know the school comes first even when we have late games or are traveling I make sure my Homework gets Done as soon as I get home even when we are on the road I find down time to make sure it gets done because knowing you have your things done is an amazing feeling. I believe that I can contribute is knowing my team can count on me and I will give my 100% at all times and make sure we all strive together and individually.
