Ever since I fell in love with soccer I was determined to be the best that I can be. At times it felt impossible to master a certain skill or technique, but I always pushed myself, and most importantly I never gave up. I would consider myself a competitive person in sports and school. I make sure to know my material before a test, quiz, and in addition, I always turn in my work on time, the same way I attend practice 15 min before they start. In high school soccer, many of my teammates look up to me because I am very persistent. Even during a difficult game if we are losing 2-1 and it is the last 10 minutes I keep pushing myself to find that goal, even if it may seem difficult it won't stop my determination. Due to my character, I've achieved many academic honors, for example, top 5% Freshmen, Sophmore, and Junior Year and National Honor Society. Also, in soccer, I was granted 1st team all midfielder due to my capabilities of creating plays and defensive skills. If you give me the opportunity to play for your school, I promise that I won't let you down and I will always work hard for the betterment of the team.
