I started playing soccer in 8th grade. Compared to most girls, I was stepping into the game very late. In doing so, I had to work much harder in practices and in games. I am a quick learner and was able to adjust to the challenge with hard work. Since then I've taken every opportunity that I could to better myself as a player. I fell in love with the competitive nature of the game and the concept that you can never stop getting better. My ultimate goal is to play four years of soccer in college and be able to excel both athletically and academically.
