Personal Statement

My goal is to attend a college that has a great Elementary Education program and offers me the opportunity to play soccer.  I embody a positive attitude, a passion for the game, a drive for continued growth, an ability to work well with fellow teammates, and lead, as a goalkeeper.  I stand out from other recruits because I give 110% to everything I do – academics or sports.  I am currently dual-enrolled in high school and community college and carry a respectable grade point average.  I work part time at a local pizza place and ice cream parlor. I volunteer, every summer, at Kamp Dovetail – a camp for local disabled children.  I am a captain for my high school soccer team. I never miss practices or games for high school soccer or club soccer.  Commitment is very important to me.  Plus, people tell me I’m pretty funny.
