2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am a 5’6 center back, wing back, and midfielder from Pekin, IL. I recently transferred from Pekin Community High School to the IMG Academy in Bradenton,FL. I am a starter as a left back on the IMG U17 Girls Elite team. I was formerly a starter center back for Pekin Community High School and also played club soccer for Illinois Fire Juniors 04G Premier 1. I also played for the 2004 girls ODP Illinois State Select team, and the 2004 girls Midwest Region ODP team (Region II). I have a 4.0 GPA and plan to take college entrance exams in my junior year.
I am looking for a college/university with an exceptional academic and athletic reputation that offers a diverse curriculum. Although I am currently undecided about an academic major, I have academic interests in the sciences, engineering and law. The perfect institution will offer the right balance of academic opportunities and athletic competition. I will consider opportunities at the D1, D2, D3 and NAIA levels.
