I am from Guayaquil, Ecuador. I am a Senior and have been at Northwood since my Freshman year. I chose Northwood because it gives me all the opportunities I want to become whatever I want to become. It has a great soccer program that has sent many players to great colleges. One of the things I like the most is the community. All the teachers are there for me when I need them, and the same for the students, who are amazing people.
In my free time, I like to play the piano. I started to learn how to play the piano a year ago in the living room. If you have been with me since my freshman year, you have probably seen my progress. I love dancing, I like to dance to every type of music. If you see me, I will probably be dancing.
At college, I want to keep playing soccer while getting a degree, and hopefully, if things go well, I can get drafted into the MLS.
After four years at Northwood, what I am going to miss the most is going on trips with the soccer team, and the bonfires at the pavilion. I am thankful for the opportunity to study at Northwood, and I will always remember Northwood as a great place.
