I love being a part of something bigger than myself, and my gifts and talents help me do this. As a frequent leader of group projects, I am constantly urging myself and my group to go above and beyond the requirements. These experiences as part of a group, often encountering failure, have taught me that I almost always have a positive outlook on life, and I will persevere and do everything with confidence. Everything bad that happens in life also has a good side; God always has a plan for us. I would love to develop my athletic talent and passion for soccer. I am on the club team FC Revolution in my hometown of Santa Cruz. Constant practices keep me in good physical and mental condition. Soccer has taught me that exercise is equally as important
as my education for a balanced life, and I want that to be a part of my life at Mitty. Above all, what I would like to develop most at Mitty is my faith. I altar serve at my church in Capitola, and am active in the youth program. However, this program is not as dynamic and energetic as it should be. Archbishop Mitty is a place where I can be engaged in and excited about my faith.
Soccer has guided me in many ways to become the person I am. Especially in high school, the sport has showed me how to be much more cooperative and open with others. Before high school, I isolated myself from others and had only a few close friends. Rather than being a sociable, I acted as though I was the only person in the world and had the outlook that as long as I do what is right individually, there is no need for me to work with others. This outlook changed when I joined the soccer team at Holy Spirit, my high school. With the way soccer is at the high school level, I had no choice but to cooperate and associate my selves with others. Once on the field, instead of introducing myself as "me" I had to introduce myself as a part of the team. You win as a team and you lose as a team. Sometimes I wanted to drive to games myself, and I was not allowed to because we are supposed to travel together and it would be wrong to the team for me to separate myself from the group.
Being involved in a sport was one of the best things I ever did. I starting playing soccer at the age of 7 and did not stop until I was out of high school. I loved to play soccer more than anything, I would play fall soccer, spring, winter, and summer leagues, and I could never get enough of soccer. I too, just as Mox had a couple of coaches I did not agree with, I hated to play for them because I felt that they had other motto’s besides just coaching the team. I would still play because I loved the game but did not agree with what they had to say. If I had a good coach I would play my hardest to help the team out.
Soccer, is more than a sport and more than a hobby, soccer is life! Soccer is the king of sports all over the world. It's my childhood hobby, I have been playing soccer since I was 3 years old.

I met some amazing people playing soccer including my coaches who encouraged me and told me never to give up as well as my teammates who became my friends and were always there for me.
While I have developed my soccer skills over the years, the relationships I have built with people are treasured more than my ability to play the game.
