Kathleen Patterson '23 Recruiting Profile

    Many events in my life have influenced the person I am today. From growing up with separated parents to living in happy loving home I have had many innovations to get used to. All these changes caused me to be versatile and thrive in change. My life has really revolved around soccer ever since I started playing. Shortly after I quit pursuing baseball I started soccer. It was in 5th grade that I started playing after the school handed out a local advertisement. I was ecstatic when my mom told me I could play and could not wait to get out on the the field. I quickly realized that there is so much to learn when playing soccer. Throughout my years playing I have learned how to hold myself accountable by accepting my mistakes and working two times harder to fix them. I have learned that I enjoy being in groups of people, and success feels better when you have a team to celebrate with.

    As a successful student I have many goals. My high school goals include graduating with an advanced academic diploma,with a fine arts endorsement,with an AP endorsement, and with at least a 4.00 GPA. In college some of my goals include being in honor societies, graduating with honors, and getting as much experience through all the opportunities as possible. There are many things I have had to overcome in life but the biggest obstacle has been myself. On my journey to be the confident person I am today I had to overcome many self esteem issues that made me think I wasn't worthy of success. Some characteristics that have set me apart from others include discernment, adaptability, and interpersonal skills.
