Personal Statement
My greatest passion is playing soccer, when I’m on the pitch the only thing I feel is the need to win the game, and it gives me the opportunity to interact with my peers in another way other than schoolwork. I love football because it helps calm me and I allows me to express all the real power I have within me when I get on the pitch, I just feel free!
I have been part of the Barbados National under 15 and under 17 teams and this has allowed me to travel and represent my country in Fort Lauderdale U.S.A and Guyana in South America. I have also participated in the numerous national training camps from age 12, and this further fueled my passion and love for the game. Football training has helped me develop better coping skill on and off the pitch.
Architecture is something I also have had a passion for ever since I realized I had a natural ability to see and render buildings. I love to draw building plans as I can tap into the creative me. Seeing building being built from the foundation is one of the most beautiful views ever seen in creation to me, it inspires me to draw or create new designs for old buildings like hospital, warehouses and stadiums.
I love drawing using AutoCAD, its new to me at this point, but I am grasping it slowly but surely. I appreciate getting feedback on my work as I want to improve on what I really need to work on in both football and architecture.
I’ve had a lot of disappointments in life, but I thank God everyday because he let it happen for a reason. I believe that everything that happens in life, happens for a reason, as long as you can handle the bad you can always take the good and make it better.
I believe I am a suitable candidate for your university because I am focused, and have conquered many challenges on the path to achieving what I have today. I have found a way to handle my dyslexia, and I thrive in a technical environment. I would also be the only one of eight siblings to ever leave Barbados to pursue tertiary education, and would be the only one to have achieved academically. I see this as being an inspiration to my five younger siblings, and for other females who want to pursue their goals. To be accepted into your college would be a great honour
