Soccer has always been the center of my life aside from family and school. I have been playing for almost ten years, and not once have I ever gotten bored or tired of it. Soccer has always been a part of my past and I want it to be a part of my future as well. It is my gateway, along with academics, to an amazing school where I can learn more and strive to become the person I want to be. Getting into a great college would really mean the world to me because it will set me up for a promising career in medicine. I've always been a pretty shy kid, but I know that playing on a college team would really help me to open up and enjoy life a bit more. I've learned so much during my playing time at Surf, playing on a National Championship team, and growing as a player in the ECNL. I know that I'm a good teammate and a fast learner which will help me immensely in college, not just on the field but also in the classroom. College isn't just a path to a good career, college is my path to a great life.
