I started playing soccer when I was 5 years old. I was inspired to play it because my dad (father) played it. My dad told me when I was older that he played soccer all the time in Mexico and that he went far where he lived to go play with his friends because where he lived there was poor and couldn’t afford a soccer field. So I told him I wanted to learn how to play and he showed me how to but it took me a while to get used to it because I wasn’t into sports. Then I decided to practice everyday until I became team worthy so after 2 years of practicing by myself and my dad I decided it was time for me to join a team.

At the age of seven I started to play for one of most well-known soccer clubs in El Salvador. Practicing twenty three hours a week was really paying off, as I could see in my medal and trophy gain.

Playing soccer was also a way to release stress because when my family was going through hardships, it was easier for me to let all of my negative energy on the

    Soccer has guided me in many ways to become the person I am. Especially in high school, the sport has showed me how to be much more cooperative and open with others. Before high school, I isolated myself from others and had only a few close friends. Rather than being a sociable, I acted as though I was the only person in the world and had the outlook that as long as I do what is right individually, there is no need for me to work with others. This outlook changed when I joined the soccer team at Holy Spirit, my high school. With the way soccer is at the high school level, I had no choice but to cooperate and associate my selves with others. Once on the field, instead of introducing myself as "me" I had to introduce myself as a part of the team. You win as a team and you lose as a team. Sometimes I wanted to drive to games myself, and I was not allowed to because we are supposed to travel together and it would be wrong to the team for me to separate myself from the group.

Yet, although I knew I didn’t represent the average football player, I felt in this moment as if I were one. All of my attention was on one thing--walking out of this stadium celebrating a win with my teammates.
