Soccer

Ever since I was a kid, I loved playing soccer. I could remember back in my childhood, my friends and I would always play soccer behind the house in the neighborhood. Even though I didn't play so well, I still enjoyed it. Then we moved out of that neighborhood, and then I stopped playing soccer till high school. It was a huge gap between that. The only reason why I stopped was because my parents could have never afforded to put me in a club to play. Then high school began, and I realized that the school's soccer team was in need of players. I tried out, and made the team. It felt like I was playing in the back of my house with my childhood friends all over again. Playing soccer brought a lot of happiness to me. It gave me a chance to step outside of my box and feel free. I've always been a stay-at-home girl, who studies or work all the time. But putting aside 3 hours of soccer practice everyday was amazing. When I reached my junior year, I became the soccer captain. Having that kind of leadership and power over the team felt really awesome. I was able to help those in need of improvement as well as build up my self-esteem to become stronger as a soccer player ;)
