Personal Statement
I run a non profit soccer organization that offers many soccer programs to help bring cultures together and provide those who would otherwise be unable an opportunity to play the sport. We offer financial aid for our programs to all who need. I am involved in the soccer club and have gotten some of the other student involved in coaching soccer. I have also just become the exercise science club president and hope to help it become as diverse as the soccer club. Other than it being our moral obligation to contribute to society, I have been incredibly blessed in life and am very fortunate. I don't think it is fair for those who work hard to not have opportunities because of their race or income.
