On and off the field, I always strive to be a leader as well as a helper to the people around me. As captain of my middle school soccer team, every practice and every game, I pushed all of my teammates to be their best each and every day. My coach also let me help out with the boys’ soccer practices, so I could get extra practice on the field and leading a tougher group. I skipped 8th grade math, and continued straight into Algebra 1 in 8th grade. In my school, there was one class with the upper level math. I excelled in the class and finished one of the few top students in the class.
