I started playing soccer before I can remember, I have played it my entire life and it is something that has helped me develop as a player and as a person. Throughout my years of playing this sport, I have met many different coaches and players that motivated me in many different ways and taught me many things. Soccer has taught me to be a hard worker and to be accountable for my actions. This has helped me develop into a better player throughout the years and is still helping me develop to this day. Lessons that I have learned playing soccer also transition into the classroom and my school work. Academics is a massive part of my high school and and hopefully my college career. My main goal after leaving high school and transitioning into college is to be able to continue my soccer career at a highly competitive academic university. As a student-athlete, being at a school that allows me to improve academically as well as letting me show my love for the game of soccer is a life-long dream come true and one that I know is achievable with the help of hard work, determination, and commitment.
