Junior JP Steiding plays left field for the Midtown Varsity soccer team and has been on the team for his three years of highschool.

“I like the sense of community that the team has given me,” Steiding said. “I’m hopeful that we will win state this year and we have all been working hard to get there.”

Next year, Steiding hopes to be captain of the team.

Outside of school, Steiding likes to do community service, such as helping the homeless. One project he has participated in is collecting shoes for people in need.

“I’ve collected over 100 pairs of shoes for the homeless,” Steiding said. “It’s something that I really enjoy doing.”
