So I was sitting there and Chavez was doing his stretches. His Fresno State flag on the ground, and I was just waiting for the game to start.

soccer after. Obviously, mama wasn't happy with me spending so much time out there but my dad had officially convinced her. The goalie, baba, was always there to help me improve at anything in life and in that instance it was the game of soccer, or “football” as referred to in Pakistan.

Stepping on the field, whether it is for practice or a game I feel rejuvenated. A quick moment of clarity where I know I can do anything. My…
