Personal Statement

My name is Ava Kiang and I play for the De Anza Force 05 Girls ECNL team. I started playing soccer when I was three and I have loved playing ever since. I have met many of my lifelong friends through the sport, and met extremely talented coaches along the way. I have learned skills that I will take with me beyond soccer and learned lessons that have made me a more intelligent, stronger, and kinder person. I’ve always known from a young age that I wanted to be a soccer player when I grew up, and all my friends told me my dreams were unattainable. Since that day, I have been working hard on and off the field to prove them wrong. You can always count on me to work hard on the field at all times. I will always work to recover behind the ball and I'm not afraid to make a tackle. Even though I am primarily a Defender, I am very versatile and can play every field position. I am looking for a school that will push me academically, athletically, and socially because I want to be the best version of myself. Academics have been important to me since I first started school, and I always strived to get perfect scores. If that meant I had to stay after school, or do extra work in order to maintain an A, then I would do it. When my coach would tell me to work on something, I would ask questions on how to improve and go home and work. I will continue to do these things throughout my collegiate career.
