Self Reflection of 1st Year of College Soccer Game
Reflection of
Last week sometime I went to a soccer game. I choose to go to the soccer game because it was really just all I could think of and I finally had some free time to relax and enjoy the college life. College life to me was of coarse stressing over classes and doing a ton of homework but also staying up late, no parents, finding myself and becoming more independent. So I went to a soccer game, done with my class homework so I wanted to be a college student and enjoy being a prideful UNC Charlotte student.
Going to this college soccer game made everything sink in ever since that moment. I was fitting in and having a good time. It was a little nerve wrecking just wondering “oh no, nobody is going to like me cause I’m a freshmen” and “I’m not going to look cool cause I don’t have very many friends with me” and then I started to wonder “shoot, I wonder what the other people are going to wear” but once I left my room, walked the 10 minute hike to the field, and saw everyone, all those silly thoughts instantly went away. It was just all my anxiety. We all sat down towards the back of the bleachers and gazed at the soccer game, we were late so the action had already started. I’m not really a soccer type of girl but just being there was exciting and felt like a breath of fresh air in some sense.
After the first half of the soccer game, I started to feel comfortable and was contemplating if I should be outspoken and tell the girls that I wanted to go closer to the front of the bleachers. It seemed like most of the students were all down there and I didn’t mind getting a closer view along with being with the rest of the college kids and sit in the front. They seemed more excited and lively and I could tell they were having a blast down there. Just as I was about to say something, a friend of my roommate spotted us in the crowd and invited us to come to the front in the “student section”. He gave us a warm smile and right then I knew this was my chance so I

    Life is comprised of a series of learning profound learning experiences. On that stands out occurred last year in seventh grade. Two friends and I decided we wanted to try something new, to learn how to play basketball! We made that decision mainly because we wanted to do an activity together for the winter term, and seventh graders didn't have the option of doing the winter school play. We were very hesitant; only one of us had any experience playing basketball, and we didn't think it would be very fun to run up and down a court trying to get a ball in a hoop. Still we kept an open mind and began to learn how to play.…

    Soccer, the sport I started playing when I was four years old. After almost 14 years of playing the sport I loved, we were playing Ocala Vanguard in the District tournament for my high school soccer team, Leesburg; if we lost it would be game over for me and my 15 other senior teammates. We knew we had to play strong just to have a chance against them, and oh what a game it was.…

    Quotes like this help me a lot when I’m playing soccer, especially during a soccer game. This quote is a perfect example of a soccer tournament that my soccer team and I had participated in. For this tournament, we went to Madison and the tournament was called Madison Rush Spring Classic 2015. In this tournament, there were two brackets and my team was in Bracket B. In my bracket, the teams were Croatian Eagles Red U12G (my team), Verona SC U13G, Monona Grove SC Cobras, and Rush McFarland U12.…

    I had just finished my freshman year of high school, now playing on my school’s summer baseball team. It was a perfect summer night on the baseball field; playing against one of the teams I disliked the most, Ava. It was always a close game playing them; they had good players who always played hard. Going into the 7th inning the game was tied, three to three. I came up to the plate wanting to help my team win the game. As the pitch came in my eyes lit up, it was a fastball right down the middle. I swung and hit the ball into left field.…

    It’s easy to make a goal rather than to achieve it. However, with determination one can succeed in accomplishing it. I have accomplished one of many goals in my list and that's to attend college. In my family not a lot attended college or even finished high school, so accomplishing this goal is a big subject of matter to my family.Getting this far is even a big accomplishment in my eye’s, especially when you break free from an assembly line of generations that never had attended college. The feeling is still overwhelming, mainly because I’m the first of many generations in my family to accomplish something big like…

    It’s game day, and the first time in twenty-three years that we might be able to defeat out school rivals, Turpin. But something didn’t feel like it should, after all it was the biggest day our team’s season. We had immense confidence in ourselves, being the higher raked state team, we expected to win this game then make a large tournament run. Little did we know that the rest of our season relied heavily on this game. Winning or losing this game would not end our season physically, but would emotionally ruin us, ultimately ending our season. The game began with a pleasant, almost soothing blow of the whistle and ended with the blood-curtailing screech of the referee’s dagger, sending shivers down my spin. The roar of our crowd stopped and…

    Out of all experiences I've had, the one that has been meaningful to me is taking my last yearbook pictures for my senior year. I wasn't taking pictures for a mugshot and a crime scene photographer wasn’t taking pictures of my lifeless body. I reached a milestone in my life that many people told me I couldn’t achieve. Though I hadn’t walked across the stage for graduation yet, it felt good to do something that many people told me I wouldn’t ever experience being a young black girl in America. The reason why this specific moment was meaningful to me is because it made me think about the many people my age who never got to experience this; the feeling of being ALMOST done with high school. I could've been like many African American people my…

When I walked into the office doors that morning, Mrs. Smith ran in there to see my cheer uniform. As the day dragged along, it was just a class period away, and then I would be in front of the whole school cheering. Somehow, that had just come into my realization, and I was just…

    High School Football was an interesting topic. I was so excited to finally play at the high school level, but I was constantly worrying about if I would be good enough to actually play. I’d been playing since the 3rd grade, and loved every minute of it. After putting in the work at the middle school level, I didn't know how well I would do in high school. All of this changed after our first game, when I caught my first touchdown pass. This experience was so special because I realized that I had what it took to be a great player, and that I needed to work hard to get there.…

    We were just going through football practice and it just was the same as every other day. We would practice hard and go through all of the conditioning. We just recently played our first football game against Lovel. That consisted of two quarters, which the Freshman played the first two quarters and the Varsity played the second two quarters. At the end of the game, it was 45 to 17, it was not close at all. That was a good way to start off the Freshman year. We were going to play the Cody Broncs in a couple of weeks, but things changed very fast. One of my favorite quotes is “Sometimes it’s the Journey that teaches you about your destination.” (Drake). That Sunday morning after playing Lovel everything in my world was flipped upside down.…

    Starting soccer when I was only five years old was challenging because of my October birthday I had to play with all the six year olds. My parents had put me in soccer because I was a young boy filled with too much energy. After playing soccer for about a year I decided I wanted to do more, I loved the sport. I started playing club soccer when I was 7 years old, playing for under the wing of Charley Amblo. This was a training team only, it was not till I was nine that I was started playing for a travel team. This was the beginning of where I learned my leadership, time management, and teamwork dynamics.…
