“I don’t want to go”! Those were my first world when I was headed to my first
soccer game. Now I realize that back then if I hadn’t gone to that soccer game, my goals probably would be very different.

Soccer has changed my life. I remember when I didn't do any sports, I just sat at
home either doing homework, playing video games, or eating. Now I made the varsity team in soccer my freshman year. I want to continue my goal to becoming a professional soccer player.

Soccer changed the way I look at people. People that are usually leaders in sports
are great friends to have. They watch your back and are always there for you. Soccer players in general are very good people to hang around.

I was usually one of the star players on a team if not the best. People usually
thought I was showing off and didn't and didn't give me any respect. Now everyone respects each other and there are very good friendships that come from this respect.

Since I started playing soccer, I have also been watching it. Soccer has made me
watch the best players in world play their favorite thing to do. I love it. I have also been getting jerseys and accessories.

I love soccer and my family for showing me it. I love the beautiful pitches that we
play on and some dumb calls the ref yell. I love the world I come from.
