Personal Statement
I have aspired to play soccer at a college level ever since I started playing the game at age four. I am thrilled to now have the opportunity to hopefully turn that dream into reality. As interested as I am in playing soccer at a collegiate level, I am hoping to find a school that fits with my academic and future goals. I am very interested in pursuing a job in the medical field, and hope to go as far as to be an Orthopedic Surgeon. Therefore, in college I am hoping to take courses that will set me on the best path for this career. Despite the pressing demands that some of these classes may require, I am still looking to play soccer for a solid team throughout college. I am an hard worker and hold myself to an extremely high standard by striving to do my best in everything I do. Coaches at multiple levels have commented that whether it be a game or a practice I am always the hardest working player on the field. In every aspect of life, I set high goals and work until I achieve them. I am self-disciplined to exercise, train, practice, and eat right in order to push myself to be the best I can be. I use my speed, skill, and aggressive style of play to my advantage whether I'm playing as an Outside Midfielder or a Forward. I am a leader among my peers whether it be on or off of the field, and strive set a good example for those around me to follow. My work ethic, self-discipline, and desire to achieve whatever I set my mind to also serves me well in a classroom situation. I have consistently achieved Distinguished Honor Roll and am not pleased with anything but my best effort. Due to this I never procrastinate and end up handing in work well before it is due. Self-motivation and the desire to achieve greatness constantly fuel the hours I spend studying and working on projects. This same drive is what pushes me to attempt to find a college that will not only fulfill my dream of playing collegiate soccer, but also will allow me to succeed academically.
