I have been playing soccer for almost 8 years and it has become a huge part of my life. I believe that I bring many great qualities to the field including positivity and leadership. I would love to continue my soccer career going into college. I have 3 interests going into college including nursing, criminal defense, and marine biology. I believe that if I perused nursing I would be able to help my teammates better understand their bodies and how they can take care of themselves. I believe I am a strong student who works hard in and out of class, and I always make sure to balance my soccer life with my school life. Being a part of a team is very important to me because I enjoy being a part of a community of girls who I can find shared interests with. I think connecting with a team throughout college will help me with my overall success and development. I have learned that being a part of a team has helped me become more driven with my academic aspiration, and I need both soccer and academic studies to find the right balance.
