At first, it was had to find a connection to a discourse community but after reading the texts and the characteristics of one, I had couple ideas of one.

The August prior to my freshman year, I tried out for Saint Hubert’s soccer team. I had…

While becoming a lazy bum throughout my summer between third and fourth grade of elementary, my parents decided to sign me up for British soccer camp. Growing up as a tomboy, I played most sports before middle school. I was the girl playing with the boys during recess. I started playing soccer at the age of 5. I partook in YMCA soccer anytime that I could. The first day is always the hardest because Tongue River is such a small school and no one loved soccer as much as I did. Being the only…

The droning sound of sharp exhales and the snapping of fists on thick cotton gis started to become something I wanted a break from, not something I wanted a break for.

Stepping onto the soccer pitch for the first time, my heart pounded with adrenaline causing my hands to tremble. I looked towards my teammates to find where to stand as the newly memorized rules jumbled around in my head. As the referee blew the starting whistle, I mustered up the confidence and courage from within to play amongst my new found family. I kept my hands close to my sides in a last ditch effort to fight my natural inclination to swing my arms at the ball, like the years of tennis…
