Playing for a collegiate level team did not seem possible to Del Rosario without the support of his family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy family has always been supportive of my passion for soccer. I come from a very athletic family,\u201d Del Rosario said. \u201cMy dad would record my soccer games and we created a collection of footage to show mainland recruiters my abilities through a recruitment website. Without the support of my family and their efforts to assist me, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be at NKU.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnrico has always been one of Mount Carmel\u2019s most promising students,\u201d said MCS president Dr. Galvin Deleon Guerrero. \u201cIt\u2019s one thing to have athletic ability, it\u2019s another to value and prioritize your education. It\u2019s not surprising to see how far Enrico has come and will continue to grow. One of the goals in our athletic program is to continue fostering students like Enrico who are dedicated to their sport but most especially their education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Del Rosario is set to graduate from Northern Kentucky University this December 2020. He will receive his Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy family, career, and my passion for soccer are at the forefront of my priorities at this time in my life,\u201d Del Rosario said. \u201cI want to build upon my skills and gain experience in my major here in the CNMI so I\u2019m currently looking at companies where I can work as an intern. After a few years, I do intend to pursue a master\u2019s degree in my field.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his career in soccer, Del Rosario answered \u201cSoccer will always be a part of my life, so I also intend to pursue a professional career in soccer if given the opportunity.\u201d \u201cAdditionally, with the amount of support I\u2019ve been receiving from the community in the CNMI, it\u2019s only right I give back. If there\u2019s always an opportunity to represent the CNMI for soccer, I will always step up to the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For students aiming to further their education, Del Rosario encouraged them to study and work hard because it will all pay off with the right mentors and strategy. However, he reminded them not to forget having fun and enjoying the memories they can make while in high school.<\/p>\n<p>Del Rosario concluded by thanking his support system. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the support I\u2019ve received and continue to receive from my family. They have helped and guided me throughout my career, and for that, I\u2019m grateful. Secondly, I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to Mr. Jerry Tan, the staff of NMIFA, and all the coaches that I\u2019ve had the pleasure of working with. They all have helped me become the player and person I am today. Lastly, I would like to thank the teachers who helped me prepare for college classes. My journey at Northern Kentucky wouldn\u2019t have been the same without their guidance and commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Mount Carmel School\u2019s athletic program, visit www.mountcarmelsaipan.com. <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mount Carmel School recognizes 2015 AlumKnight Enrico Del Rosario as he continues to excel as&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":325442,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[14532,1181],"class_list":["post-325462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-del-rosario","tag-mcs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
