When I had to pick a project I had to keep a few things in mind like who do I do it for and what will it be. After thinking I realized I wanted to do something for the Lynchburg Elementary School, because they always help the scouts in the past so I wanted to do something nice for them. From there I had to figure out what I was going to do so that I could have it all approved by the school system. After a few days I finally figured out what I would like to do, I wanted to make a pavilion…

The phone rings at 9 o'clock in the morning. “Syd coach Smith just passed… he had a heart attack last night!” exclaims Kieanna. Confused I respond, “What?” The phone goes completely silent and then tears are heard, they are Kieanna’s. Throughout my years in high school I have participated and many different activities at my school.…
Without soccer, I would not know how to tell my story. I didn't have much free time for soccer teams when I was young because I had to take care of my 5 younger brothers when my mom wasnt home. But in sixth grade our neighborhood was full of Latinos that loved soccer, so that is how I started to become more passionate about it. Our neighborhood did not have a nice field. It didn't have goals or markings, it was pretty much dirt and grass.…
It hurt so badly. I wanted to scream but I didn’t want to scare everyone or get any attention drawn to me. Instead I started to cry while trying to text my brother. People were screaming in excitement and all I could smell was wet grass.…
Throughout my short life journey, soccer has been an enormous part of my life. I began playing soccer at a young age; this is the point in my life when I fell in love with the sport. As I grew older soccer became less of a hobby, and more of a lifestyle. Today, I am literate in the sport of soccer, because I have proficient skills, and a firm understanding of the game. I consider myself very soccer savvy, however the most important literacies I have acquired from soccer were the life skills of hard work, dedication and perseverance.…

I seldom stressed about playing time. Instead, I counted on my natural speed and talent to impress my coaches. At the age of seventeen, I made a decision to try out for a new team.…
The stadium is filled, and the cheering from the crowd makes it hard for me to hear myself think. The smell of popcorn and other goods are being vended at the concession stand. The band has left the field with their piece still drumming in my head. We are in the first quarter with the lead; the scoreboard shows a score of twenty-eight to seven. The coaches are yelling, “offense” so; I put my helmet on with the upmost eagerness and headed to my position on the field.…
What once was a mere burning match, weak and fragile, has grown into a magnificent wildfire, capable of engulfing the entire planet itself in its flames. Passion. For anything imaginable, those with it can shine far brighter than any other. I’ve always envied those with something they could cling to and call their passion, never having it myself. After years of searching, it appeared.…
The roar of the engine sends my heart racing as I pull out on to the track, one lap around and we are off, trucks at my side as we glide around the turns. The slick dirt pulling my back end around I move my hands, my automatic controls, the only thing keeping me from spinning out. It’s funny really because clichés aren’t my thing, however, at times idioms are just the thing to describe a situation or time period in one’s life, for instance the saying that “life is a roller coaster” couldn’t be more fitting for my life. The ups and downs, the highs and the lows, the twists and turns, life is just one big adrenaline rush and at times I feel I’m a junking, addicted to life.…
They pulled me aside into a room. It was just me, the head coach, Mike, and the freshman coach. “Hi, Shelbi right?” said Mike “Yes, how are you?”…

The moment I step on the soccer field lets my life slow down. I feel like I’m home, although I’m far away from it. I’m born and raised in Germany, where I started to play soccer with four years. Only a few months ago I decided to study and play soccer in the United States. Everything is so different and requires me to adapt, but soccer always stays the same.…
