Personal Statement
My name is Malana Douglas. I play the central forward position and I am the class of 2025. I play club soccer for a team in the national league, as I am also a starter on my high school varsity soccer team. I find that my passion and consistences is key for me on the soccer pitch as is being resilient. I hold a 4.0 grade point average as I know the importance of performing well as an athlete is the same as a student. My education is very important to me, I love to learn new things and experience life. I enjoy assisting others (on and off the pitch) I like to inspire others with my actions not just my words. I am the class of 2025 president as I find leadership to be one of my strong character traits that have formed me into who I am today. On the pitch I feel like I show my leadership by never giving up no matter the circumstance, I always find a way to get back up no matter what knocked me down. I won an essay based competition to go to HOBY (Hugh O'Brian leadership seminar) as I can build on one of my strong traits being a leader on and off the pitch. I can never go with the flow as I am always trying to make my own way.
I am looking for a college that will put the time and consistency that I will put into them, into me. I need a college that will help me grow and prosper into the person I want to become without holding me back from one step. I want to reach my full potential and need a college that will allow me to do so.
