My Movie 1Personal Statement
My collegiate goals and aspirations are to play volleyball where I can study health sciences in order to help others have the rights to live a healthy life. For example, as a 15 year old I have a global non profit business that I am running to help all children have the rights to have access to clean water. I raise money and I have worked on digging trenches in Costa Rica, I am helping in Flint, Michigan with water filters, and soon I will be heading to Cuba to serve (check out AGUA LIMPIA #cleanwater on Instagram).
I am a great candidate for your team because I started out playing Premier soccer so I have great foot skills and speed. Since I kept growing I decided to use my height as an advantage. I placed at Nationals in Orlando in June which was my goal. What makes me different from other recruits is that I am willing to move anywhere to reach my goals and aspirations so that my high academic standards can be used with my athletic ability to serve where I can make a difference. We live in a "me first" society but I challenge myself to think outside of the box and problem solve so I can be an integral part of global awareness and help.
