“Some of my favorite things about Northwood would have to be the people, Soccer, and location. At Northwood, student-athletes are given so much exposure to various aspects of life, which is something that I really enjoy. As far as the opportunities I have been given, my best memory so far would have to be going to Costa Rica for L.E.A.P. This was an experience of a lifetime and something I will never forget.

“Northwood has given me many opportunities to improve my academics and has taught me discipline to prepare me for life afterwards. Since being here, I have tried to stay true to myself and embrace the entire process. I do not want to look back on my time here at Northwood and have any regrets, so I try to make the best out of everyday life.

“Five years ago, I did not think that I would be playing soccer this competitively. The program’s environment has allowed me to develop so much as a player and athlete. Along with the numerous trips, our training schedule allows me and my teammates to improve daily. Being a part of the program is one of the best decisions I have made in my lifetime so far.”
