Thesis Statement: The organization of youth soccer teams by birth year rather than graduation year, created by “US Soccer” has more downfalls than benefits.

I started to do countdowns, “Okay, I have 6 days 14…

I claim that the setting of the novel drives the plot. First of the…

After 3 years of diligent work, I was designated to be a captain of the team. Despite of worries…
