I had just finished lunch when a group of my classmates decided to start up a game of soccer in the field next to the alligator tanks. I can play soccer. I played when I was like 5, but okay! I’m walking through squishy, muddy grass and thought nothing of it. The boy I really liked at the time starts off the game. Everyone’s getting really into it; knocking people over and talking seventh-grade smack. “You’re going down Zach!” I head for the ball and -- whoosh! God damn it! Why is my butt becoming cold? “Look! She’s got mud all over her butt!” I can’t believe what just happened. I turn completely red. Why God did you make me fall in mud right in front of him? WHY!? With the help of my friend, Katie, I get up and see how bad I’m covered in mud. This ewwy, gooey, dark, brown, smelly thing …show more content…
Mrs. Peno comes into the gift shop and tells me that we only have 15 minutes until we have to load the bus. My pants are still soaking wet. Seriously God! What have I done wrong? I go to church every Sunday and pray every night. I am a good Christian. WHY!? My best friend Katie walks into the gift shop with a nervous look on her face.
“Mary Anne, we need to hurry up they’re lining us up for the bus right now.”
“Oh my gosh, Katie help!”
Katie rushes over to my side and starts wiping down my legs. (If only someone was recording us; we looked like clowns in a clown car). I look down at my legs and we are almost done. Thank you, Lord! I am sorry I ever doubted you. I scream out of the tiny bathroom to Mrs. Peno, “HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE LEFT?”. We only had 2 minutes left. Mrs. Pam is over by the sink trying to dry my shorts off with a hair dryer and the hand dryer. Katie is scrubbing my right leg, while I am doing my left. (I felt like I was on The Amazing Race trying to beat the clock).
“I’m done with the right leg. How about you Mary Anne?”
“Done!” Thank the Lord have
On one fall morning, my mom and I arrived at the Hulmeville Soccer Tournament. There were so many teams that had great potential to win. My teammates and I Were excited to play theses teams and push our skills to the limit. Our soccer team won all five games that we played. Therefore we made it to the championship angist Hulmeville, one of the best teams in the tournament. The game started and there were no goals scored. Since it was the finals, we went
Terry Fox was a hero among Canadians. He inspired many to run and fundraise for cancer research. Though he had his leg amputated, he still ran across Canada and almost achieved his goal. He started in Newfoundland and sadly had to stop his run in Thunder Bay because of his cancer coming back.
(I’ll never forget the first time I got myself involved in flag football or track ) I’ll never forget the first time I stepped onto the field to play my first flag football game. The smell of wet grass, the taste of plastic from mouthguards and the adrenaline rush going through my body. Hours and hours of practice just to perfect a route or run faster. Determined to be great and make great things happen. I was hooked and I still am today.
Rodney was 13 years old and all he had dreamed of for his whole life was football. When he was only 4 years old he and his dad were watching the Clemson vs. Florida State Game. Rodney saw Sammy Watkins, the quarterback for Clemson, throwing the world’s greatest touchdown pass and knew he wanted to be one of the greats in football. He wanted to grow up to be a quarterback for the Denver Broncos.
“How could you live in such a dreadful place?” The sun poured down on us like you were in the desert the shade of the trees tried shying away from the sun. However one great man said, “It is just as hot for the other team as it is for you.” So we competed each game as if it was our last. We were in the land of Omaha, Nebraska.
Human Services, Inc. stands by meeting the needs of the client and the community. If a client does not have insurance or no income, we still allow them to receive mental health services.

I got off the bus in a hurry to get some fresh air because that bus was filled with New York air. I saw the field that we were going to play on and we slowly walked up to the field. All of us were nervous to put on a show. We all had butterflies in our stomachs.
When I was a young child, I took a religious education class. around the time of thanksgiving, the teacher made the choice to go around the class and ask each of us what we had to be thankful for. When it came to my turn, I was very excited and told her I was thankful for pigs. people laughed and she was very puzzled, so she asked me to explain myself as to why I chose to be thankful for pigs. I told her very simply: because pigs make footballs.
The season was coming to a close and I have yet to score my first goal. Our next game was against Peters Township and even at that age, we had rival teams. Around halftime I could feel the cold, wet raindrops touching the surface of my skin. The rain caused the field to be slippery and wet, so the ball moved differently then it would on a dry field.
When I attended my first meeting to be in the soccer team, the coach asked all the girls in the room to rise their hands who never played soccer in an official team. I raised my hand. I never played soccer before but I always watched soccer games on the television or live. He assigned us to do some research of the positions in a soccer team and the terminology they use to communicate on the field.
It was a hot summer day in Hammond, Louisiana and I was pouring down sweat like I had just jumped in a pool. The game was just about to begin, me and my team was eagle eyeing the bomb squad. It was so quiet that you could hear your own sweat hitting the bench. The umpire broke up everyone’s concentration by saying, “play ball”! The defense had ran out on the field and I started rolling ground balls from 2nd to short-stop to third base. They had all made good throws back to me and then I threw the ball into the dug-out because the game had begun.
Soccer had taught me many things in life. It showed me the significance of family in all forms, to be responsible and appreciative of my peers and elders. I will never forget that day, no matter how old I am, because I had learned an essential lesson, to never give
Soccer was a huge thing in my community so when one of my friends named Julio invited me to join his soccer team i got so happy i went to go buy new pairs of shoes to show them off and to this day i will never forget what those shoes were they were these blue and grey nike mercurial shoes. I went to my first game and that's when i met more people that also loved soccer like i did but they went to different schools so i didn't really know them. My team won the league and also the finals i was 8 years old when all this happened and as an award for winning the finals my team was rewarded with a huge trophy. What made that day the most memorable day of all is when i received a separate trophy and on the trophy it had written “Star player” that's when i
We were all set up on the field ready for the game, I remember closing my eyes forabout a minute before the game started, that minute felt like 10 years, I froze and thought aboutmyself when I was 3 years old and how I first fell in love with the game and how my ultimatedream was to become pro, I remember the hours of pain and suffering I put myself through tobecome the player I was today, I remembered waking up at 4 a.m. on school mornings to go forruns so that I could run longer in games,I remember skipping parties and hanging with friendsso that I could train, I remembered everything, but one thing truly hit me was how much soccerwas there for me growing up my parents argued a lot and when I was feeling sad and lonely Iwould go train at the fields and it would hell my sorrow. Growing up in a household when yourparents are constantly fighting is difficult, but soccer was my out lit it was my therapist. Duringthe time of their divorce I felt like I had no one but soccer so I decided I need to give back to thegame. Soccer did so much for me, so I wanted to prove to it that it wasn't a waste of time andthat I would make something out of the game. I opened my eyes and didn't feel human anymore Ididn't feel in control of my own body the sport had taken over me for the better. I remembermoments when I was running and it didn't even feel like my feet were touching the floor
