Personal Narrative-Strolling To The Soccer Field

Decent Essays
“Mya you almost ready to go?” My mom shouted coming down the hallway. “I’m already!” I shout back at her. “ Ok let’s get in the car then.” So I grab my very heavy soccer bag and I get into the car.

--- 15 minutes later --- As we pull up to the soccer field, the tire’s make a loud “Squeak!!” Then I swing the door open like a tire swing. I listen to the parents screaming, someone must of scored a goal. I start strolling to the field. Okay I’m all done tieing my shoe now time to start practicing. --- 40 minutes later---

My coach calls us all over he reminds us to work as hard as we can, be first to the ball and shoot. I forgot to mention, this is the championship game for my soccer tournament.

My soccer cleats began to get wet and sink into the wet muddy grass as I walked.…

    “Beep Beep Beep” It is 5 am and my hand can’t make it to the alarm clock before the voices in my head start telling me that it is too early and too dark to get up. But I did not ask for their opinion, I rise like a phoenix and before I know it, I am drenched in sweat and walking out an empty gym in route to the soccer field. Why you ask because I was told I was not good enough, too uncoordinated, and too tall to play soccer and I was on a mission to prove them wrong. There was a month left before the traveling soccer team that everyone told me I was not good enough to play for came back to town for their yearly tryouts.…

    From the time I was six years old, soccer consumed my life. I started at a recreational level, advanced to a competitive division, and eventually on to high school. I’ve put countless hours into learning the game. I never thought my soccer career would include coaching until one summer when two friends and I signed up to coach a recreational soccer team of nine year-old girls. Initially, I thought it would be a cakewalk, my previous coaches managed my teammates and I with ease.…

    “Hi Malcolm, I’m Coach Spear, and I’d like you to consider playing soccer at Davidson.” I had played the “beautiful” game of soccer for as long as I could remember, starting in an organized league at the age of three to be exact. An invitation to play as a team member in a highly regarded college soccer program was the culmination of hundreds of league games, dozens of travel tournaments, and too many practices to count. The idea of attending such a prestigious college and having the opportunity to continue to play soccer is a personal accomplishment was very exciting to me. Soccer may have opened a door, but I believe that several interests in addition to soccer, combined with the educational opportunities that Davidson has to offer, will help me open many doors throughout life, shaping a personal identity that will be unique among many.…

    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.…

    Growing up and playing soccer my entire life, I can personally explain to anyone how difficult the game really is. However, when I step on the soccer field Saturday mornings to volunteer, I know the players participating have a set of unique challenges that make their accomplishments truly extraordinary. That's because every Saturday I volunteer at the nonprofit organization RVACCESS, which helps provide special needs athletes the opportunity to play soccer. I first found out about the program four years ago and was amazed at what a difference it made for the athletes and their parents.…

    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.…
