2019 Highlights
Personal Statement
I have a plan to study Bio-Medical Engineering after high school. I have applied to multiple colleges for Bio-Medical Engineering, all of which don't offer soccer as a sport. I would prefer to attend a smaller college that doesn't have many distractions from my goals. I have played baseball competitively since I was 7 years old; I have also been playing soccer since I was 9 years old. I have lived in a small town my entire life so I have been fortunate enough to find friends while doing these sports and now have lasting friendships with them all. I have a strong work ethic. I sustain a 3.5 GPA while working a job five mornings of the week. I would love to have the opportunity to continue to play soccer while also transitioning to my adult life.
