Sports are a big part of my life. Throughout my early childhood, I played many different sports and this allowed me to grow and become the leader I am today. I started playing soccer when I was three years old. 13 years later I still feel the excitement and anticipation of walking on the pitch and enjoy the sport now just as much as I did then. I wish to pursue my dream of playing competitive soccer in college. I have always wanted to travel around the country playing the sport I love. Even though I love playing soccer, I consider academics equally as important. I always challenge myself academically and take advanced and AP courses to ensure my academic growth. So far in these more difficult classes, I have found success.
