Samrawi Bahlbi '25 Recruiting Profile

When I was in Asmara, Eritrea, I watched a soccer game in the cafeterias of the City with my uncle as kid. My uncle never skipped a game if Neymar, a Barcelona team player, was playing. So one day, we were watching a game, and my uncle was excited to watch the game since that was Neymar's first game after he got injured. I saw the happiness and excitement of my uncle. I always wanted to make my uncle happy as he made me; since that day, I have wanted to be a professional soccer player like Neymar. From that day onward, as I wake up every day, I only see myself playing soccer as a professional. Since then, I have trained to be a better player than before as a student. Yet, my father believes education creates opportunity and helps in managing life better. Therefore, I also kept my grade high to get opportunities to not only achieve my dream but excel in the opportunity to come.
