Why did I play soccer? By the time I was 8, my brother had been playing soccer for a couple years. My bigger wish, at the time, was to be better than him at . So, I was determined to be better than him  at soccer. We used to play 1v1 in the side yard at my house and he would always steal the ball or get by me so easily he didn't even sweat. Then, I started developing a love for the game more than before. I haven't stopped playing since then. I look forward to continuing my athletic and academic career at a college that bests suits me.
