Having this opportunity given to me means a lot to me because I've always wanted to play soccer at an elite level.I've been playing soccer since elementary school and I always try to be the best I can be wherever i'm on the field. I want to be the first person in my family to graduate from college, it always motivates me to work hard on the field and off the field for my family.Being a student athlete has taught me the importance of hard work and perseverance.What makes me a good candidate for a team is that I am willing to put hard work and dedication into the team. I will be the first one in the gym and the last one to leave. I will understand the value of teamwork and communication.Doing the dirty work on the field is important to me.Tracking back and being a two way player is what separates good players from great players.I always been high achieving academically .Being a first generation American, I understand the importance of seizing every opportunity. Growing up I learned what a strong work ethic was and how to get what I want through sheer, grit, and determination.I always have a positive energy and strong toughness when it comes to the field.
