“I’m a post-grad in my first year at Northwood, and I’m from Armenia, Colombia. I decided to come to Northwood because of its all-year-long soccer program to improve my academics and make it to a top Division 1 school. I want to become a professional soccer player and dream of playing for the Colombian national team someday. It’s been a dream of mine since I started playing soccer. If not a professional footballer, I would like to become a physiotherapist because I find injuries and stuff similar to that very interesting. Something interesting about me is that I was a goalkeeper until I was 6, when I realized I had the skill to play as an outfield player.”
