ELA Vocation

For my profession, I would be a soccer player. I’ve played on a soccer team for three years and I have improved. Last year I was invited many times to play on the club soccer team and they wanted me on the team which motivated me to keep playing. I loved how it’s a team sport and we’re able to make friends.

Next year, I will be in seventh grade and I’ll be playing on the school soccer team as well as many other sports like Track, Tennis, and Basketball. I will try to get into a soccer summer camp that year to improve my skills. My dad used to play soccer at my age and often teaches me some tips and tricks and cheers me on when playing. The

coaches know me well where I used to play and noticed I was a good player which will motivate me to try harder.

Five years from now, I’ll be close to graduating high school. I will be on the school soccer team as well as many other sports including track and basketball. I will be working my hardest to earn a scholarship to a good school. I will probably be leaning toward a new career for athletes aren’t a long time job.

Ten years from now, I’ll be playing on a college soccer team. But I would have found a new profession and would have started to pursue it. I’ll soon be graduating and earning my bachelors degree and I might stay for a couple more years to pursue that career I want to have.

When I’m older, I think I would have changed my career to something different as time goes on, but I’ll still keep playing sports. It is super fun and gets me motivated to play. Soccer will stick with me because I enjoy it and it helps me grow better social skills. I would like to pursue the goal of becoming a professional soccer player.
