The long numerous hours and days that I spend on the field don't just help me improve on myself for playing the sport that I feel so passionate about, but it also helps discipline me to be a hard-working student by my competitiveness driving me to do as good or even better than my fellow peers on tests, class works, labs and more. But along with academics, it helps shape me into the hard-working and competitive athlete I know I am. It helps build my optimistic and positive attitude and character that makes me who I am by always "looking at the glass half full" instead of half-empty because in soccer sometimes it only takes one goal to put your team back in the game.
