Personal Statement

Hello, I'm Brenna Firlie.

I am a 5'5'' outside mid fielder from Baltimore, Maryland. I play for the Baltimore Celtic 99 team coached by Fabio Debarros. I have been a starter for the Friends School of Baltimore varsity team for two years. This past season I earned All-Conference in indoor soccer. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA. (FYI, my school does not offer honor or AP classes, but our classes are the equivalent.)

It has been my dream to play soccer in college ever since I was little. However, my family values education. I am looking for a school where I can find a balance between academics and athletics. Preferably, my goal is to thrive in my athletic environment while making an impact on a team and contributing to the growth of the team. I am open to different types of schools but I would like to pursue a school with a competitive athletic and academic environment. Ideally, I would like to attend a school on either the east or west coast that is neither too big nor too small. I love soccer and I will continue to work towards my goal to play in college.
