2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a four time varsity letter winner and played at the highest levels throughout my soccer career. I'm very versatile playing anywhere from anywhere across the back four and even up top as a striker. I'm driven by how badly I want to succeed each day especially at soccer for my parents but also for the love that I have for it. I'm passionate, hardworking, intelligent and will do whatever it takes for the team in any situation. Although I was plagued with injuries and misfortune with the transfer policy during my junior year. My goal is to take this as a learning experience and strive for the best. My goals are to study computer science or get into the medicine field in college but also to be the first generation in my family to go to college as they did not have the opportunity as refugees. Some goals I have this year in soccer is to win first team all conference and to bring back a district title as we have not won one in years!
