Kainalu Ortogero '23 Recruiting Profile

Throughout my life I have been shaped into the person I am because of certain events in my life. These events include being doubted, robbed of soccer for a year and a half, and things such as bullies. Many people have also influenced the person I am today such as my family and friends. I have always been interested in soccer ever since I was little. Plus my entire family and life is based around soccer so it had influenced me playing soccer.  I have grown up around my dad especially playing soccer and I admired the sport so I decided to try it and ended up loving it. Throughout my experience in soccer I have learned  a lot about myself such as things like I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Throughout this sport I have been able to learn that I am a hard worker and I am more than capable to do things.  I hope to major in either journalism or anything to do with sports. I am hoping to learn a ton in college and especially in high school I am always eager to learn. My academic goals include learning a ton about life and about my major. Throughout my life I have had multiple challenges to overcome such as being robbed a year and a half due to covid, having major doubts on myself, and having a ton of bullies throughout my life. The good thing about all of this is that it has made me a stronger person and it has helped me grow exponentially throughout my career. I think of myself as someone who will never take a no and keep pushing forward no matter what.  I may not be the flashiest player out there but I guarantee I get stuff done in the forward position.
