    Growing up in El Salvador, soccer was a sport that significantly impacted my childhood. My cousins and uncles taught me how to play soccer, as well as various techniques that would later benefit me on the soccer field. 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. Not only did they represent my accomplishments, but they also gave joy to my teammates, community, and family because they were the people who encouraged me to give my best. 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

  • Lionel Messi as a Role Model

    I remember one time when I was watching him play. He had just scored one of the coolest goals of his career. He spun the ball just out of reach of the goalkeeper's hands.

Messi just simply gave the ball to the referee and got prepared for kickoff. This showed me that even though he had scored an amazing goal, Lionel Messi did...
