2. Career Goals

I was born in Constanta, Romania by the black sea coast. I start playing soccer when I was five years old. I have always dreamed to have my own professional soccer school where aqua massage therapy would be available for my students. When I came to America, I begin to attend school to achieve my dream. I would like to teach others about soccer and about aqua massage therapy. I experienced aqua massage therapy in Romania. My long term goal is to open a professional soccer school, with aqua massage therapy for my students. After this goal is reached, I plan to open a separate aqua massage therapy business to help people with different problems. Aqua massage therapy is for everyone, not just athletes.
