Personal Statement
I have been playing soccer since the age of 4 years old. Once I moved up to the select level I quickly realized that wasn't going to be enough of a challenge for me and quickly moved up to the premier level. I made the 2nd team in my age group the first year. I worked 5 days a week training because at that time my goal was to make 1st team the following year...which I did. I then moved on to achieve my goal of making the ODP team for my state. I then set my goals even higher to make the tournament travel team. I attended the Region 1V Championships in Phoenix, and was also chosen to attend Region IV ODP Camp at CSU in Fort Collins CO the same year(2017). I have continued to make my ODP team and RCL 1st teams. I also made starting Varsity for my high school as a freshman. My ultimate goal is to make the national ODP pool, also to get recruited and excepted to my college of choice and play soccer for them while I earn a degree in Orthodontics. I am a 2 year National Honor Society student and will be taking college Level English (101) as a junior this year. While playing Rec/youth and select soccer I earned my Black Belt in Karate in just 3 and 1/2 years. I also stepped way outside of my comfort zone last year at school and took a Wood/Metal shop class. I have earned community service hours last summer mentoring younger soccer players for my soccer coach at Spokane Soccer Academy. I was very excited to do this because I enjoy interacting with young children and can't wait to share my love of soccer with them.
