Personal Narrative: Denver Ethiopian Community Soccer Team

The first day of practice I absolutely loved the game. It was important at the time because it was my first time trying it and I absolutely loved it. It had a long impact on my life because I still play it to this day and travel around the state with my travel team just to play football. It also taught me teamwork and how to work with other people to accomplish big things. 4th

I was twelve when my team won the championship. “ Championships bring joy and happiness ,but takes a lot of work to get there. It was a warm and sunny day as I prepared to run the drills before the game. As my team and I were doing the drills such as sprinting,shooting, and passing I was already thinking about the game ,but realized I had to stay focused on the drills for now. As there were ten minutes before the game we kept on doing the drills until I heard my coach announcing the starting lineup.

My freshman year of high school Coach Specht was the assistant soccer coach. At tryouts he told me that I would have a bright future as a player and could possibly play varsity as a freshman. Throughout the year, I keep putting in the time and finally half way through the season, I got my chance to play my first varsity game. This showed me that he really believed in my skill, to put a freshman in against mostly juniors and seniors. Not many coaches will risk putting someone that young on the field.

“The fight had created great interest in the neighborhood. Antonio and Felix were well liked and respected. Each had his own loyal following(326)”. “One morning less than a week before their bout, they met as usual for their daily workout(323)”. They have always been each other 's rock and have been there for each other.”Arm in the arm the champions had left the ring.

After that, his soccer career began. “Scoring goals is a great feeling, but the most important thing to me is that the team is successful – it doesn’t matter who scores the goals as long as we’re winning” (Ronaldo, n.d.). This quote shows how humble Ronaldo is, and that he is a team player. In his teens his goal was to train and work hard to eventually play professional soccer. A couple years later, in 2002 he joined a better soccer club called the Sporting Clube de Portugal which means the Sporting Club of Portugal.

On November 2nd most people love attending El Dia De Los Muertos Festival in memory of their loved ones. This time Rosa decided to go in memory of her father. He was Rosa’s inspiration. He was a hard worker in his late 30’s always doing great in his job of cutting grass, cleaning yards, and planting flowers. Always trying to give Rosa everything she needed.

Some of the Lions and Tigers fans are super loyal to the game and their team. The teams all have thousands of year to year season ticket holders, and the high school teams have a lot of season pass holders also. All sports and teams need a great and strong fan base for their games, good and bad ones. Loyal fans are hard to come

After the game ended, we went to our coach, then he said “Good job everybody! !” I think the reason that he told us that was because, our plan worked exactly. Our plan was to zigzag pass and pass to the player that is good at dribble, then quickly the person that is good at shooting runs toward the goal and he scores. That plan worked for every single goal that we made in game one. After the 1st game, we ran to our parents and our parents gave us a big hug.

You can enjoy the moments when you play with your friends and family as well as when you join a soccer team. You will be meeting new friends that you have not met before. It is helpful because you and your team will have rules to do when you play in the field, and they build trust with you which you can know everyone strength from weakness. Gaining a friend can increase your popularity which also at the same time will encourage you to play much better. For example, I have been playing soccer for a long time with my buddies, and they call me in every time there is a match.

We wore a red checkered uniform and a serious expression. Because of the band, you fell in love with on sports day – even though the only time you’d ever run was from vicious stray dogs. Cheering for our teams, tuck-shops, competitions filled the air with excitement. Various games like relay, hurdles, long jump, high jump were a part of the activities. Special games were organized for the teachers as well as the parents.

It haunted me to the point I didn 't hear my dads usual commentary on my game. I kept thinking about it until I came to the conclusion that if I couldn 't play as fast as I used to I would have to make up for it in some way. The next day at practice I watched some of the defenders that were typically slower than most of our offenders to see how they overcame their lack of speed. I saw that a lot of them played tighter on their respective opponents and didn 't allow them a chance to turn at all so a foot race couldn 't be started. I tried that tactic but couldn 't quite get it.

“Coach Al Sears was the best coach and I was sad to see him leave. He pushed all the wrestlers to their limits and then some. He truly was the best and hopefully Coach Joe can meet his expectations or better yet even surpass him as a wrestling coach.” Jamie said. A four-time All-American wrestler in the heavyweight division at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and highly successful wrestling coach at Belleville West for the past 14 years, Sears has been elected as part of the 2015 class into the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association Hall of Fame. Coach Sears had well deserved this place in the hall of fame as he lead the Belleville west wrestlers to countless victories and even gotten wrestlers scholarships to multiple universities or colleges.

The Warfield shield game is the most noteworthy game of the season in the city of Clarksville thousands travel to the game every year.
