Michael Scott '17 Recruiting Profile

                                                                    Personal Statement 

         The person That influenced me the most would me my coach named Buddy Perry and my Dad. I picked my dad because hes one of the most important man in my life and has taught me everything i know. I picked my coach because hes been my couch since in was a little boy and taught me so much about the game of soccer along with my dad. i love them both so much and they are a big chunk in my life. they have carved me into the man i am today and showed me how to treat others and myself.

          My dad is the person i go to advise anytime something happens and shows me how to deal with thing , so that when I'm on my own i won't need to go to him when I'm an adult. He showed my couch how to teach the right way of playing the game. One day when i was very little, my dad had me and another boy Cullin on his team with other kids too, we could knock the ball around all the other teams easy even my couches team. My coach saw how my dad couched and wanted to teach his kids that way too. This story just shows how significant my dad is in my life. One day i hope to give him the thanks he deserves including my couch.

          My couch Buddy Perry was diagnosed with LuGehrigs, A disease that eats away your muscles on your bones an there is no cure. He is the strongest man i know. hes had the disease for 4 years now and they gave him 5 years to live and he still is going strong. They said he would be in a wheel chair about 1 year ago and he still can walk pretty good. he has inspired me because he showed me how to be strong no matter what and never give up even if your tired or don't want to continue anymore. With all the things he has to go through just shows me how strong i have to be when it comes to the little stuff like writing this paper i don't want to do this but i have to so i can get a good job in the future. I hope i can strive to be as strong as he is and be successful in life.

          These two people in my life have a great part in my life and i hope to give them the right thanks that they deserve. I haven't talked to uncle buddy in a long time just because we have both been very busy but his son kalei is my best friend and i hope to see both of them very soon. these two persons are the reason i play soccer. I play for myself of course but they make me want to try harder everyday so i can make them proud to know that they have taught me everything i know. These people have inspired me to do great things and i hope i get the job of my dreams, and strive to be the best i can be.
