Soccer Changed My Life Essay

push myself further as a person. I have always had a fascination with differing cultures and experiences, unlike the limited amount I could find in my hometown. However, I have not had many opportunities to venture out into the world. I instead developed my traits and interests through my school. I joined various clubs, sports, and commitments throughout my high school career. These things have helped me gain insight about who I really am and what I have to offer. Beginning freshman year, I…

considered normal for a young boy: I played baseball, soccer, basketball and hockey in leagues. The Basketball slipped away because I was bad at it and didn’t care to try to get better, I was okay at hockey (mostly rollerblade hockey), but excelled at soccer and baseball. I loved playing them, but I never wanted to do it professionally. It was more of a leisure activity on weekends. With baseball/softball, it’s even more leisure with guys my age because there are “beer leagues” which are…

Holley Trowbridge has made a big impact on my life. She is kind, loving, patient, generous, supportive, achiever, humorous, amazing friend, phenomenal braider, and outdoorsman. She always is willing to stick up for someone else, even if she has never met them, she never has put her own needs in front of those around her and will always go the extra mile for someone else. I met her a few years ago at a church service project at a local elementary school soccer day camp. Jordan and I were sent…

We were a really close family, we had close relationships with one another, we were really happy and content with our lives. I went to kindergarten and my first day there was…

After several years of saving up for a soccer camp at Texas A&M University, family and I finally accumulated the amount required for attendance. The camp was held in the summer of 2012 by several elite college coaches and trainers. The camp attracted serious and talented players. At the time, I was fourteen years old and had never been exposed to people that weren’t from the same region as I was. The furthest I had ever traveled was San Antonio so I didn’t know what is was to interact with…

to remember what happened to four years of my life and what those four years were filled with is tough. It’s so easy to remember the valleys and not the mountains. However, looking back on my years at Unity, I learned something incredibly valuable. Unity has taught me what it’s been trying to teach me since I walked through the door for the first time freshman year. I see how God walked beside me and that he will continue to do so for the rest of my life. God was there freshman year. I wouldn’t…

ran through my head when my parents told me we were moving houses again. I wasn't worried about the house, as much as making new friends at a new school for the second time in four months. Who knew moving to a new school would find you the love of your life though. So, here we are first day at this new school. "Do I really have to mom?" I asked. I walk in take a deep breath, "This is a little hallway, where is everyone? Gosh, this place smells like feet!" I was already ready to have my first…

today I am going one step closer to achieving it. I had two choices for example, William T dwyer located in Florida but I have changed my mind. I would like to go to John E dwyer located in 123 pearl st, Elizabeth, NJ 07202. I chose this school because I think that technology is a great way to start your future.
