Khalid Scriven '14 Recruiting Profile

I love soccer with a passion and I want to play in the biggest leagues in the world. I know I can do it. I have a very high work rate and I know I will be able to satisfy my ambition for the game someday, playing on the biggest stage. I want to help my mother who has raised me by herself and has been working ever since she got to America from the age of 16 from Malawi in Africa. She deserves to sit back and see how accomplished her son has become because of her hard work. I also want to show my little brother that hard work does pay off and set a good example for him. I want to let him know that his friends may choose a certain path and may try to steer him in, but he has to be able to determine what he wants out of his own life, because he only has one chance at life. I want to show my family that I am a success and I also want to be part of a great team of individuals who share the same passion and drive to succeed everyday, It will be a major test to me and will eventually bring out the best in me. I want to study Psychology because I am very fascinated with detail, I enjoy soccer because I have to analyze a situation and a person and look at the whole picture. I like going deep within and understanding things. I believe that I have a great understanding of myself, but I also know that I am developing each day so I know that I am far from perfect, I am confident In my ability to learn, and can work hard to obtain knowledge where there is none.
