My focus as an athlete is to first and foremost be a top students. Though I am a dedicated athlete, I understand that I need to be successful in the classroom in order to achieve my goals in athletics. I feel that is important to balance proper sleep with a healthy diet as I train and prepare for both school and competition. I have taken on the role as a leader on my team. I take pride in being a person that my teammates look up to and depend on to take charge when things are not going well. I present myself in a positive way both on and off the field. In my school, I have developed a reputation as someone that is willing to help with homework or be a good listener in times of need. I feel that is important to give back to my community and the sports that I participate in. I have volunteered to work with younger children as they learn the sport of soccer and volleyball. I volunteer at my school by helping my teachers and in tutoring students that are struggling in class. My ultimate goal is to play soccer in college at the highest level possible as I am preparing for my career in the classroom.
