            I clearly remember the day that I was in Florida playing soccer for a soccer club I had joined. The position I was playing that day was forward center or striker. So one of the players in my team pass me the ball,  and next thi g you know it was just me against the goalkeeper. He slid and hit me so hard on my left ankle that he dislocated my ankle. The pain was like non other I had experienced before and the coaches were telling me that I was never going to be able to play soccer again or if I did recover I was not going to be as good. When I heard that I was not going to be able to play soccer again, I felt depressed. But through time I just never gave up and improved more and more physically. So when I got to high school I joined soccer and football and became captain of both teams. They were both such a great experience, and towards the end I felt much more passionate about football than soccer. So on my senior year I became top scorer in the football league at school and top goal scorer for soccer. If you work hard and never give up no matter how much time it might take you can accomplish your goals.
