Q: WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO FEATURE A SOCCER BALL IN YOUR PORTRAIT?
A: Soccer has really shaped the person I am today. It taught me how important and special it is to be apart of a team. The team became my family in so many ways and I am so sad that it’s all over. The most memorable moment was winning the GMC final my senior year. The feeling of running to your teammates as they score in a huge game like that never gets old. We had a huge crowd that night to support us and it was just an unforgettable experience. Without soccer, I would not have learned the importance of teamwork. As an individual, it would be impossible to get any task done. However, with a team anything is possible.

Q: IF MONEY WERE NOT A CONCERN, WHAT WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO DO IN LIFE?
A: If money were not a concern I would spend time with my loved ones. I would travel the world with my family and friends. I would particularly love to go to Cuba. My grandparents are from Cuba and my grandma always tells me how beautiful the beaches are. I would spend lots of days at the beach.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE?
A: My vision for my future is to go to college and work towards earning my CPA. I want to be an accountant when I am older. My mom is an accountant and she told me I should take a class in high school to try and see if I like it. I ended up really liking it and decided it was something I would like to pursue. I also see myself living in a house in New Jersey with my husband and kids.
