Ever wanted to do a sport ? But had to struggle with no support from anyone nor people caring about you winning or losing. Well that was me. An eight year old girl having the ball at her foot and with one goal. I joined soccer when i was eight years old. I didn’t know where to join and to who ask. Once i told my friends they said i should going there team ! I was excited and i couldn’t wait to get home and tell everyone! But that was the day i found out that nobody cared and they didn’t want me to join. I didn’t listen because the way i see those professional playing my heart just skips a beat.

Saturday mornings who be our games and I would see parents come down to our games for their children enjoying the game.

    “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.

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.…

What if everyone was telling her not to because she was to be a single mom and that’s not a world a child should be born into, but then what if she challenged this belief that she grew up with. This then in turn affected all her choices later in life, but then vice versa what if she didn't challenge this belief and stuck with what she knew.

I let my anxiety disorder rule my life, and let my weight be an excuse as to why I couldn’t do certain things.…
