The moment that I joined my local recreational team, the Tulips, at age 5, I realized my love for soccer. Even at that age, I showed up ready to compete and work. As I’ve gotten older, my passion for the sport has continued to grow. I am a highly competitive person in almost all aspects, including sports and academics. I gravitate towards rigorous physical activities such as skiing, surfing, hiking, running, and most importantly soccer. Exercise helps me zone in and is an emotional outlet for me. I work hard and am always happy to receive feedback from my coaches and teammates. Playing at the collegiate level would allow me to push myself to hone my skills, build meaningful relationships with my teammates, and be a part of a community that continuously works together to play at the highest level they can. I’m looking for a school that gives me the opportunity to challenge myself academically and physically.
