Reign Academy US...Personal Statement
I'm very excited to share that I have committed to Pomona-Pitzer Soccer and will attend PItzer College!
I'm #28 on the Crossfire Premier ECNL Composite U18/19s, coached by Steve Crum. My primary position is attacking mid. I've also played holding mid, and helped out at right/left back when needed. I've been a Varsity starter at my high school since freshman year. I'm a strong technical player skilled at distribution and finding through ball opportunities. A positive team culture is very important to me. I believe in supporting and encouraging my teammates.
My soccer experience includes monthly trainings with the US Soccer Training Center for over a year, and two years playing for Reign Academy in the USSDA. I've been recognized at a Top Drawer Soccer Standout at ECNL Texas '20 and ECNL Florida '19, and as a TDS Two-Star Player. I also was chosen for HS All League as a sophomore.
I attend The Northwest School, a private school in Seattle, class of 2021, where I'm a co-leader of the Black Student Union and a Peer Mentor. Current GPA: 3.4. My older sister Puja plays volleyball for Bard College and my brother Sintayehu is a member of the men's soccer team at Duke. In college, I'm thinking of studying psychology to become a therapist.
