My name is Gian-Franco Rodriguez-Straccia, and I am from Argentina. I heard about Northwood after being contacted by a Black Rock FC coach. One thing about me that has changed throughout my time here would be my mentality. Looking back at my time here five years from now, I will miss my teammates the most. My favorite memory would be when I first arrived here and met all my teammates and the students. My everyday routine, daily training, school, hanging out with teammates, chilling in my room, all the little things you do in a day here is what I will miss the most. Next year, I plan to either go to college or play professional soccer.
