What is the most embarrassing moment you have had in high school?
Tripping over the tennis courts when I was playing soccer at school.

What is your most memorable moment, either in or out of HS?
Being captain for soccer my senior year for varsity. Memorable because I'm the guy they looked up to and listened to.

Can you tell me one of your happiest childhood memories?
Well, I've been playing soccer since I was four years old. And I remember this one time when I was 7 years old I scored  the winning goal for my soccer team and we got the title of champions.

What has been your biggest hardship in life?
When I sprained my ankle and I had to get back into soccer because I didn't want to miss State Cup. State Cup is the biggest tournament, teams from around the world come.

What are you proudest of? Why?
I'm proud of my soccer career and how it is taking me so far. It has helped me achieve so much in high school. I am also proud of my traveling team, I've acquired so many metals and achievements. I also got best defense for three years in my high school career and one for best middle. Over the years I have gained so much experience and built my talent to a better level.

How has HS changed you?
Well it helped me mature in my school work and soccer abilities so it changed me for the better.

Who has been the most influential person in your life? What did they teach you?
Well my mom because she taught me that hard work pays off and good things happen to good people.  She taught me wrongs from right  and how to live life overall. As well as how to be independent.

If you had the chance, what would you do differently in your life?
I wouldn't take that chance cause I love life and what I have done. I learn from my mistake so yeah I won't change anything.

What has been your biggest disappointment in life?
My biggest disappointment was not graduating on stage from my Junior high. My mom was disappointment so that killed me and I was disappointment in myself for letting my mom down.

What's your biggest fear?
My biggest fear is losing the person who has been with me through thick and thin, my mom.

What do you feel the most grateful for in your life?
Well there's a lot but one thing is my soccer. It has honestly kept me away from drugs and alcohol, I've been clean since 1997. Haha

What are you doing after graduation?
Well I'm going to play college soccer,  I already made the team for Hancock. And I plan on coaching my own traveling team. I also hope to work and have a good family.

How would you like to be remembered?
I would like to be remembered as a soccer star. That's it, soccer star. Not smart or buff or dumb but soccer star.
