Personal Statement
Hey there! I'm Marisol Gutierrez and I am looking forward to pursing my academic journey in Physics. I am currently a high school senior, however I will be graduating in May of 2019 with my Associates Degree in Science and my high school diploma following after. I believe I am a good candidate for your women's soccer team as I have demonstrated determination in both my academics and soccer. I have done so by completing not only a high school diploma but also an Associates Degree in Science in addition to playing club soccer, high school soccer, and holding a steady job all by the age of 17. By doing so I have stayed on the Honor Roll and multiple Honor Societies. Not only am I determined academically, but being the captain for my high school varsity team and the volunteer leader for a camp encouraging girls to pursue a career in the STEM field has helped me grow my leadership and communication skills being able to work with others ranging in age, ethnicity and backgrounds. Furthermore, studying STEM abroad has helped me become more open minded and furthered my ability to adapt to new people, languages and cultures. I believe this is an important skill in soccer, as adapting to a new team and system is crucial for success. I am determined to be a great contribution to not only your soccer program, but also your university! Thank you.
