2022 SpotlightPersonal Statement
My name is Keegan Williford. I am currently attending Forsyth Central High School and am aligned to graduate with the class of 2023. I have completed my pathway in Biotechnology and will be concentrating on my soccer through the 2022-23 year. Thank you for visiting my NCSA page.
Throughout high school, I set out with two goals in mind. Work hard and push me to achieve both academically and on the soccer field. First, I have recently completed my junior year and have earned my Biotechnology Pathway Certificate. This was a rigorous pathway offered within the STEM Academy at Forsyth Central. The STEM Academy was established to provide a rigorous academic schedule available to a cohort of students seeking to achieve academically beyond the core high school requirements.
Second, I dedicated my free time to concentrate on my passion of playing soccer. To push my skills to the fullest, to play in the MLS Next League and UPSL Division 1. For the 2022-23 calendar year I will continue to develop myself as a soccer player and continue to prepare for my future, either in soccer or to prepare for college, one day at a time.
