Introduction Statement
My dream is to play professional soccer, but at the same time have a backup career to set myself up for the future. I am a very reliable, persistant, and motivated person. I believe that these qualities will help me leave a lasting impact wherever I go.

Academic Goals
I want to study Anesthesiology or Sports Med to help other people.

College Goals
My crowded schedule has given me the ability to balance school and still improve athletically. This skill will directly translate into college. I want to be a teammate that you can always rely on. I also want to be the hardest working person on and off the field. I believe this mindset will give me the ability to succeed against any opponent I face.

Life Goals
My goal is to be a professional soccer player in Europe. I also dream of playing for the US national team in the World Cup.

Why do you want to compete in College ?
I believe it has the best level of soccer for my age, and I also can pursue a degree. It exposes me to many new people, coaches, scouts, and opportunities. It will allow me to showcase my ability.

What makes you different ?
I believe that I am different because I am the hardest worker in any room I enter. I will not stop until I achieve the goal I am pursuing. This gives me the motivation throughout my life.
