Aaliyah Pina

I was born and raised in King City California for my whole life and until high school I have went to school in King City. My first year of High School me and my parents decided to switch schools. Changing Schools forced me out of my comfort zone, teaching me how to adapt to new environments, build new relationships, and become more confident in unfamiliar situations. I am an only child and I have developed a strong sense of independence and self motavation, which helps me stay focused and driven .Playing soccer has shaped me into a more discipled, resilient, and motivated person both on and off the field. Through soccer I learned the value of teamwork, accountability, and pushing through challenges even when things don't go my way. All my hard work led me to being Captain as a Freshman and it pushed me to grow even further, as I had to lead by example and earn my teammates trust despite my young age. Balancing soccer with work responsibilities has strengthened my dedication and time management skills that will only continue to grow.

I am involved in Model UN and Kawpa Club, which have helped me build strong communication and leadership skills. I also participated in soccer and track and field, where I learned how to mange my time efficiently.
