you will see me joking around and having a good time. Often times, when you picture an athlete, you think of a stern faced, hard hitting person, but never get to see their personality off the field, but in most cases, it’s just like mine. After a game, while cooling off from ninety minutes of hard running, many people still see those characteristics in me, but in reality, when you come up to have a conversation with me, I am just like I am around my friends: a kind, joking person who just…
that we can make our own fun out of frustrating situations by creating a game out of it. In my opinion, I agree with Veitch’s argument because, this is helpful for people to turn frustrating moments into an enjoyable one instead.

My Passion for Soccer I started to play soccer when I was four. It has had an important impact on me. This is the reason I met my friends. When I was four I got my first ever soccer ball. It was a blue and green colored soccer ball. I would play around with it all the time. I would sometimes hit the ball with my head.

time. My buddy Shawn got the ball on kickoff and ran it back to the 50 yardline. We knew the game was going to be a blow out. It was then that Bryce Thoman ran the ball in for a touchdown.
