Soccer shaped a lot of who I am, soccer has taught me how to commit, know when to make a move, and it has made me tolerant. Soccer is all about commiting to the ball, if one was to hesitate while going for a goal it will not be as powerful. I bring that into driving, school, talking, and writing.

After, we ran to the stand that had our trophies on it. I walked up to my dad with pride and excitement as he handed me the first trophy I ever owned. I began to think about how he has always been there supporting me, helping me grow on and off the field, and telling me that not everything goes the way people want it to in life and they have to accept that. I was 5 years old, and it was my first year playing soccer or any sport at all. I grew up thinking that everything would go my way, but, when my parents introduced me to

My dad had the greatest influence on me and, inspired my competitive nature and my love for the game. Whenever I was upset at home or overwhelmed from school, I would take my ball and find a quiet place to practice. As I kicked the ball around and shot at a small goal post my grandpa bought for me, I felt relieved and all of my worries melt away. When I started playing soccer, it was a sport me and my family was passionate about but soon; it was an escape for me when I was down.

These hopes did not turn out as planned the transition was tough and once again I felt alone when I signed up from my school team. Again I was the only African American who signed up for the team and out of fear of being known as the “ black kid on the team” I did not join. With my club the feelings were different, my team had just started to play competitive and the lonely feeling began to drift. Little by little I began to see more people like me, and saw that they were also going against the norm of a sport belonging to Latinos. My first year in high school and competitive soccer taught me valuable things and those helped me answer the question that was still being asked to kids like

and I was no longer seeing the field a lot. Everything was too much at once for me at the time and soccer came last on my priority list as the season trudged on. I finished out the spring season, but high school tryouts were next. Last high school season I was head over heels for our coach, Mack,

Morgan combined both his love of sports and his creative mind to conjure up a new sport for fitness and fun. In the creation in this sport there has been some ups and downs, but it was executed very well and is now one of the most popular sports in the world because the first two decades following the origin of the game were marked by its rapid spread to Canada, South America, the Orient, Cuba, and Europe..

Soccer has been there to distract my brother from the negative influences Chicago has on a teenager. Similarly, my parents decided to sign me up for a soccer team to prevent me from going on a wrong path. The only problem in me playing soccer was that I was too old and had no other experience than knowing how to kick the ball. Thus, many teams did not accept me for being a rookie at the sport at my eleven years of age. On the other hand, it was my determination that caught the eye of another coach that lead me to learning a very important life skill: never give up.

Now I play soccer for the Oskaloosa team and I have played for them every year in the spring and fall. We have had a pretty good team through the years and we win more games than we lose. But I enjoy playing for a bigger town because the competition is a lot harder than Sigourney ever was and it makes it more of a challenge. Some people think I’m crazy for driving to Oskaloosa after school for practice but I think it is well worth the drive.

Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, or Nas, wrote in one of his songs “Still i’m sayin’ why do we reside in the ghetto with a million ways to die?” DeShawn, a young boy that lived in the projects of Chicago wanted to go to school, provide for his family, and stay away from the gangs. But, he needed the money to provide for his family, and school wasn’t really leading him anywhere. So he made a choice to join the Douglass Disciples, something he never really wanted to do.

In the article There was no Offensive-Defensive Confederate Strategy Donald Stroker wanted to prove that Vandiver, a celebrated historian and professor was wrong about the strategy used in the Confederacy during the civil war. Stroker brought up points such as “The biggest problem is Vandiver’s first words: “His strategy was the offensive-defensive.” At no point does Vandiver present any evidence that Davis ever decided to prosecute such a strategy.” (Stroker, pg. 8) Stroker had jumped from explaining how the offensive-defensive could have possibly been a strategy in the Confederacy, to proving how it was not an option, and how there was no evidence to show that it was an option.
