Hi, I'm Izzy
Talents: some of my talents include playing soccer
and running cross country. I can also bake and cook. I'm also known for my creativity. |
Things I enjoy:
I love playing soccer I've been playing since I was 2 and I hope to get the opportunity to play in college. I also enjoy running cross country and I run when ever i can. I also play basketball on my high school team. In the winter I enjoy snowboarding with my friends and reading new books. |
what would I like to improve?
I want to improve on many things but I've always wanted to learn how to play guitar. I started learning in 5th grade but sadly had to stop in 6th grade after I joined band and didn't have time to continue with this journey. I hope to take up this hobby again and with my CAS opportunity I may have the chance to. As well I would like to improve my confidence. I've always struggled with this through everything especially sports and it's slowed me down with opportunities like improving my soccer skills or even getting a PR running cross country. I want to not only be able to do activities without overthinking but also to use it to show others that overthinking and confidence is a big part in mental block and that anyone can overcome this if they work hard enough. If i can learn how to handle my confidence and overthinking learning new skills and overcoming challenges will become a lot easier.

What are you already doing that could be part of your CAS program?
I'm doing many things especially things that could relate to the activity portion of CAS. I play three sports for my high school and I play soccer comparatively outside of school. I also teach younger kids how to play soccer which I absolutely love because I get to teach
a younger generation about something I'm so passionate about.

What I would like to be involved in?
I want to be more involved in things that broaden my knowledge of certain topics. I really enjoy learning new things and if I get to share my own opinions and ideas i would absolutely enjoy doing things like that. One place to start may be to join a book club which is one thing I've always wanted to do because I love reading all different types of literature and getting to share my analysis of a book sounds like so much fun I also enjoy sharing different ideas see different points of view of events or experiences.

tA time when I helped someone:
There have been many instances where I've helped out whether its with younger kids teaching them soccer, or being a CIT at my local summer camp. I've even helped out at my church plenty of times with food and clothing drives. But one instances that comes to mind was in 8th grade me and a few of my classmates spent the whole day making tie blankets and after we got to donate them to the hospital. I really enjoyed getting to not only make blankets with my friends but also getting to help out the community.

A time when someone helped me:
A time when someone helped me was when my old soccer coach recommended me to tryout for the Olympic Development Program team for soccer and that really kick started my soccer career. That experience not only made me a way better soccer player but also a better teammate. Even after my coach and all of my coaches after have helped in ways I can't even think of off the top of my head. They have been extremely helpful through this college process and make me a better player everyday.

What issues do I feel passionate about?
I feel passionate about many things but one thing that I really try and fight for is women's rights. I'm so passionate about this topic and I have looked a lot into it I really look up to the Women's National Soccer Team and strongly support and follow them through their fight in equal pay. I'm never afraid to voice may opinion on any topic and will continue to fight for things like climate change and equal rights. |
What I would like to learn more about?
I would love to learn more about political issues especially so I can voice my own opinions on them and become more educated in these issues. I learned from the 2020 election that I'm really interested in these kinds of things and my involvement of A.P Government really fueled my thirst for knowledge in this topic. I'm also really interested in filming and fashion because I've always loved clothes and shoes but learning how certain trends and designs came to be really interests me. I also find how movies and shows are filmed really interesting and helps my creative side grow because I love the creative freedom of writing and designing. |
what have I always wanted to try?
I've always wanted to expand my creative mind and learn how to play an instrument like the guitar. I already know how to plat the saxophone and read music so learning how to play other instruments sounds really exiting to me. I also have always wanted to design my own clothes because my mom has always been really good a sewing and used to make my brother and I's Halloween costumes and I thought it was really cool that you can get the creative freedom of designing your own clothing pieces.
