DHS Highlights 20...Personal Statement
My ultimate goal is to be a professional soccer player. Goals I have before that is to be a D1 soccer player, win a valley title for my high school, win a state cup for club, be an NPL national champion (completed) and help my team get prompted to ESNL(completed). One of the reasons why I am a good candidate for your team is I have a high work ethic. I am always looking to improve in practices and when I'm alone putting in my little solo sessions at home. In addition I am a coach-able player. I am perfectly fine with receiving constrictive criticism from my coach's and teammates. They want what I want to be the best version of myself so when they are telling me to fix something I know it's for my own good; to become a better soccer player. Off the field I am a respectful and thoughtful person to everyone I meet. I strive to be a person of high integrity. As for academics I have been taught to hold it to a high value. When in school I don't mess around, I do my homework, go to tutoring if necessary, and always do my best in test. This has lead to me have a cumulative G.P.A of 4.46 and being ranked 6th in my class. I take AP and honer classes and am enrolled in a college readiness program called Upward Bound. All in all this is a little bit about me as a soccer player and as a person. Thank you.

- First ever Allianza de Futbol tryout. I was actuality a little shocked I didn't make the team as I my tryout game I scored twice, made runs, won my headers, made switches when I had to, and was loud so I could be heard by my teammates. Even my teammates dad was surprised I wasn't chosen.
