Interview

I am a focused, high achiever, with a very strong character and an open jovial personality. I consider myself to be a respected, likeable person. I am very outgoing, always carrying a good disposition and a funny sense of humor. I set high standards and chase success, be it from a schooling perspective where I have always been an A student, achieving Top 10 Grade positions throughout my schooling career, to the sporting fields where, again, I have excelled in numerous activities. Soccer is something which from an early age became my passion and focus.
Core to all this I have a solid foundation as I have a tight knit family, coupled with my strong faith in God.
My core values revolve around professionalism, respect and perseverance!

I am a person who likes doing things professionally and I take soccer very seriously. In general, college sports in America are extremely professional, and in addition, the opportunities of playing college sports at a high level yield high opportunities in the future. Therefore, I have decided that if I want to play soccer at the highest level I need to get a scholarship into a strong soccer program in America to better my chances of doing so.

My college goals are firstly to excel on the soccer field as I strive to win the conference as well as the national tournament. My goal is to be the best in the country!
Secondly, I aim to perform highly in the academic side of college life as I also have aspirations of starting my own business one day and this can only be achieved by doing well in my business degree as well as possibly obtaining a masters degree in business to further studies.

Soccer goals: To excel at the university I am at and strive to win the conference as well as the national tournament.
Life Goals: To obtain a first class degree in Business as well as a masters degree in Business. Thereafter, I would like to open my own businesses.

Skills:
I can play rugby, cricket and tennis.
Passion:
My first passion in life has always been soccer, but after attending the Hillsong Church South Africa I have found another new passion in life, to serve the lord and getting involved in the church
