Soccer is hard work and dedication. It also is discipline and creates great sportsmanship. I love the challenges and want to be the best possible. Also I love the joy of the game without that the game wouldn't be fun.
My parents inspire me off the field. I was adopted when I was 6 months old but never felt any difference. They push me to be the best I can, support me on everything. I want to make them proud. On the field Lamine Yamal inspires me because he made it pro at such a young age and made his debut at 16, that pushes me to think I can make it as soon as he did with hard work and dedication.
I was proud of making co-ed junior high soccer team in 6th grade, we won regionals and were undefeated. With these opportunities i am creating the friendship and brothers I made over the past years for a lifetime. My coaches have push me become a better player and who I am today.
