    Back in the day when I was very little, I remember that my dad used to take care of me. He would never let me run around the house when glass could off break and hurt me. As I kept growing up my father started to give more freedom but also gave me more responsibilities; like he wanted me to do the chores of the house, not all of them but some. I knew they were not mine to do but I still help. When I went off to college and I had to do all by myself, I realize that my father did good on making me do my laundry, chores and etc., when I was young. Besides I knew that I had to do my chores for me to go out with friends. Although I had this kind of responsibilities at a young age I can say that it helped in life.

  • Personal Narrative: How Soccer Has Affected My Life

    My mom and grandma were there for me throughout every defeat and triumph, but the absence of my father affected me throughout my childhood. It was difficult seeing my teammates train with their dads because I had no one to train with other than my coach and sometimes my cousin or uncle, but that didn’t stop me from pursuing my dream. Not having a father figure then motivated me even more to one day play for my national team knowing that after every victory I was getting closer to my goal. My coach and others who knew me would say that I was very talented, but not all of the comments were positive. I also knew many individuals who were my classmates who would make negative comments about me to others, or direct them towards me. However, these comments didn’t affect me though because my mom always told me that those negative comments should always push me to be better and prove them wrong. I have not only applied her advice to the game of soccer but to life in general. These words of wisdom from my mom have let me accomplish many things in life, such as learning English, but most importantly my educational goals through

    My parents have always supported me in everything I have done. They have given up so much of their time to come and support me in every aspect of my life. They never missed a race, volleyball, basketball, or tennis game. I could always count on both my mom and dad to be in the stands cheering me on. There was no better feeling in the world than knowing that they were going to be there no matter how far away, or what the weather was going to be like. My favorite memory of my parents’ dedication to watching me was when I played at the state tennis meet in College Station, Texas. My partner and I were supposed to start our first match at twelve o’clock in the afternoon, but there was a rain delay that lasted fourteen hours. We did not start playing until two o’clock in the morning, and they were there for it all. My dad even stayed knowing he had to be in Arlington, Texas at six o’clock the same morning for an important meeting with his boss.

    When I turned six years old I was old enough to play on a Little League team, and my father volunteered to be the coach. He worked long hours but always found enough time to dedicate to the team. At first our team was not very good, but that would soon change. My father practiced us hard every week and by the end of the season we made the playoffs. Even though we did not win the Championship that year, our team had reason to be proud. We won a few games, and we had a lot of fun, thanks to my dad. I played baseball for a total of ten years, and he was my coach for at least half of them.

    Whenever I am faced with a problem and have to make a decision, I know that my mother will be behind me one-hundred percent no matter what avenue I choose to travel down is. It is a great feeling to know that someone is always going to support me in anything I choose to do. It alleviates much of the stress that comes along with making decisions. For example, when I could not make a decision and choose which college I was going to, a community college or a university, my mother reassured me that she would be happy with the choice I made, as long as it made me happy. Having my mother tell me that alleviated much of the pressure I felt to pick a college. I did not want to disappoint her, and knowing that I would not, made the decision a lot easier. ...
