With this mindset, I recognize the sacrifices and hardships of achieving my goal. With my leadership skills, I hold my teammates accountable and make sure that I do everything that I can to help my team be successful.

I have been excelled in this topic since my youth ,and I enjoy helping others. School has always been a place to really balance my soccer life with academics. Seen through my 3.9 GPA, I do not struggle too much in school and have found myself really good at time management with homework, practices, and games. When I first started playing soccer competitively (middle school), I had the expectation to maintain good grades or else I would not be able to play soccer. This idea has stuck with me my whole soccer career so far and make sure to enjoy playing the game of soccer, while doing well in school.
