From when I was a little girl, soccer has been a huge part of my life. My parents raised me with the sport of soccer. We loved watching FC Dallas no matter how their season was going. Most of my memories of being a little girl have been playing soccer, going to FC Dallas games, or just watching countless matches on the tv on Saturdays and Sundays. The funny thing is that I even went to FC Dallas games before I was born. (My mom was pregnant with me). As a young child we would try to go to games at least once during the season. We would make so many memories and we would just enjoy each other's company in the stands. However, there was one memory after going to a FC Dallas game that I will never forget. (TMI ALERT!!!!!!) The game was over so …show more content…

(I was probably 8 or nine). So we started to leave because we knew that there was going to be a lot of traffic trying to come back home. We hadn't even got out of the parking lot and I told my parents that I really had to go to the bathroom. They were so pissed at me so they forced me to hold it. Unfortunately, I couldn't hold it so I just started to go in my booster seat. I've never seen my parents so mad at me. They decided that it would be best to stop at a Kroger before we started back home. I went to the bathroom inside to clean up. The good news is that we got a free tshirt from the game so I changed into that. It was so embarrassing but it's truly a memory that I will never forget. Other then that, I didn't find the game exciting. It was 90 minutes that I sat in the stands and then occasionally started to cheer when Dallas was about to score. Nevertheless, I still had a great time at these games, especially when the stadium was called Pizza Hut Park. Pizza+ Soccer= best day ever. It wasn't till I was in middle school when I started to know all the players and enjoyed the game at a deeper level and not just when I got an excuse to eat …show more content…

One time we were trying to find the perfect seat for the game and I remember Kevin Hartman (FC Dallas goalkeeper) waved at us. We were probably 15 rows away from the field, but he still waved at us. It made me feel so special and appreciated because I never met him before. Just imagine being a young kid and having one of your favorite players wave to you before a game. That's crazy. I was playing soccer at this time so it definitely made me want to be a soccer player when I grew up. I was a young girl so of course I had high goals and expectations with what I wanted my life to become. I believed that I could do it and I would be the next greatest thing. Unfortunately, there came a time where it just wasn't fun. My life had gotten busy and my friends were starting to quit. I would have to join a new team pretty much every year because there wouldn't be enough people on the roster. It was starting to grow old and I didn't enjoy making new friends and having them leave once the season was over. I still love the game but looking back, I should've stuck with it. There were so many great life lessons that I learned because of
