2021 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I'm a 17-year-old Colombian student, that loves soccer with his life. I have been playing soccer my whole life, since 4 years old. I have played in several cities of Colombia, like in Cali I played for Deportivo Cali, in my actual living city (Medellin) I played 3 years in Nacional and right now I am playing for ABC, and I'm playing sub 18 an in LAF. I am a really competitive person, that likes to work in a team to accomplish goals. I'm a really nice guy, funny and really social, I get along with almost everybody I am around. I also work really hard for my grades, that is why I left a 3.5+ GPA for 11th grade. My goal in life is to play soccer in the USA and be in a university that will make me happy, to be able to work in the US and bring my family from Colombia to the USA. In the field, my biggest strength is giving them the confidence to my team that any ball near the enemy's side is near I will score. I also give confidence and peace to my team when I receive the ball, and when the team needs my support I can lead them to victory because I consider myself a leader.
