Personal Narrative: A Career In A Soccer Field

As I been growing up, I’ve seen many talents everywhere I go. From people singing at church to people dancing at parties, but the talent I see the most is at a soccer field. I also have that talent in me and I feel amazing knowing I am able to play because not everyone is lucky enough to play. I started playing soccer when I was in 2nd grade with an older cousin.
