Who am I? That is a very deep question. I think the only way I can answer that truthfully is by saying, I do not know exactly who I am, but I know who I want to become. I want to become a well rounded individual, someone who everyone likes and looks up too. I want to be someone my family can be proud of.…
I remember starting with a minuscule game and boom, I took a header and scored off of it. Then about five minutes later boom, but this time one of my teammates had just nailed me in the head with the soccer ball.…
When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light. When asked about my future after high school, I also have a hard time describing everything I want to get done because there are far too many things to name. The quote “ _____” (i want to be everyone and do everything and there isn’t enough life to do it all in) describes me to a tee, and I believe this college is the place I could do this in. Being a shy person for most of my life, many things were difficult for me. Specifically, last summer I had the opportunity for a summer job.…

“Shes coming back right?” a baffled 7 year old asks in response to the appalling news of her mother’s death. A vibrant imagination is accompanied by a crushing pain of reality that trails behind it ; I discovered this when I heard the words “no” . 10 years later, that conversation lingers in my head and holds not a cacophonous nor euphonious sound, but instead holds the neutral tone of reality, an alarm . As routine , at 6a.m., I hear a melodious alarm followed by the pitter-patter of my aunt who is getting ready for work.…
Surprisingly I didn’t make the team. Later, in the year a soccer team was formed. I tried out for the team. I was selected for the team regardless that I didn’t know how to kick the ball in the right direction. Even though my team never won a game I knew that I enjoyed this sport.…
But that didn't matter. The kids on every block would come out in the late afternoon to play soccer. At first I was shy and the new kid on the block and the new kid in school.

We looked around for different clubs in the area and mom decided I would play for a county league called Severn Soccer Club (SAC).…
I remember wondering how much of how I play would change. For a long time I had to began to imagine what a life without soccer would be like. Until one day my father came into my room and simply decided we would sit on the ground and roll a ball back and fourth to each other. No conversation occurred. For hours we just staired at the ball as it rolled across my bedroom floor.…
