Personal Statement
Ever since I first got my foot on the ball when I was only four years old, I fell in love with the sport. Soccer is my passion and I work hard on and off the field in order to ensure that I obtain my goal of playing at the collegiate level. Unfortunately, during my first two years of high school soccer, my team did not experience the success I would have hoped. As a team captain through this experience, I learned the value of teamwork, commitment, and sacrifice, even without winning results.
I am an active member in my community by being involved in student council and by volunteering at local organizations. Through my years of student leadership and volunteering, I have adopted many important leadership qualities that will help me in my future academic and athletic pursuits. I am looking for a good program that will fit me academically as well as athletically. My goal is to study biology, with the goal of eventually pursuing a medical degree. I believe that the academic and athletic qualities listed above will allow me to make an immediate and positive impact on your program.
