Personal Statement

I'm from Shanghai, China. I'll graduate from high school in 2025, and I'm looking for an opportunity to continue playing soccer at a competitive level while studying to make a difference in the future. I know it's hard, and my research shows there are very few NCAA soccer players from China. But I believe I have the quality and dedication for what is required for NCAA soccer.

I can play as an attacking midfielder and both wings. I'm the play-maker type of player.

I've been playing soccer for 11 years. Over the years, I've always been a member of the elite teams from my club, my district and Shanghai Football Assoication. I was awarded best team in the national level Hope Cup tournament which was organized by China Football Association. And I attended the 2018 World Cup opening ceremony as one of the Youth player representative from China.
