Eric Jaramillo '14 Recruiting Profile

Since I was young I have always been intrigued by business. I loved the thought of making profits so much that I began working in the family business as a bag boy when I was around 6 years old. I sold stickers to other kindergarteners at school and ever since I have done business here and there to acquire my own money. My ultimate dream is to one day create my own business venture through determination, commitment and perseverance. Along with that desire, I would also love the opportunity to play soccer in college because soccer has always been my favorite activity and my passion. I grew up playing soccer in Venezuela when I was about 5 years old with the kids that lived in my apartment building. We would always meet up to play soccer and losing to the older kids always motivated me to improve. Additionally, soccer has not just been a hobby but has always helped me dispel the problems which get locked up in my brain.
