Soccer has been a big part of my life growing up. The biggest thing for me going into high school‚ freshman year‚ was making the soccer team. I showed up to every summer camp training first‚ and would work an hour before practice every day. To get better and impress the coaches.

Just as summer camp came

I used to play soccer and enjoyed it thoroughly to the extent to which I would call my coach when rain canceled practice because I didn’t think the water would hurt anyone. Shin guards were like another layer of skin to me‚ and my cleats seemed to remain attached to my feet more times than not. It was the one thing in my life I felt sure I was decent at. I had the speed‚ and the muscle to kick the ball across the field; I felt unstoppable. Eventually‚ a bunch of girls in my age group and I converted

Yuliya looked at Tyler and I saying “Why are you guys not sad we are losing?” I said back “No matter what happens in this game hockey is hockey‚ and you can not find me upset at the sport because the goals that the Blues and Jets have scored where all good hockey goals.” She looked at Tyler and I and agreed and stated that she still wanted the Blues to win‚ just as we all did.

believe that by serving others‚ our personal gain may be hindered; however‚ I truly believe that if we look for ways to serve others‚ it will not detract from our personal gain‚ rather‚ it will help us. One activity I am involved in is helping a kids camp for younger soccer players. I was also able to play soccer with children in Belize this summer on a mission trip. It is so important to find ways in our community to help others by using our gifts. Soccer is a game I love and I am extremely grateful

expect them to just understand and walk away. Even though I had been asked multiple times if I had read “The Hunger Games” the answer was still no.

I have always been drawn to the validation of the attention I received when doing something well. And soccer wasn’t an exception. I was in third grade when my family decided to make the move to Leechburg‚ Pennsylvania. Coming from a much smaller school and town‚ my parents decided to enroll me in the local soccer program to make new friends. My Coach‚ Coach Steve‚ was an

The winds were strong and throwing dirt and dust everywhere. The infield was hard and dry with a light colored dirt that was blinding when the sun came out. In the outfield‚ it wasn’t much better‚ the grass was long and patchy. These conditions made it hard to concentrate and play. This was the semi-finals game of the tournament and it was single
