    Almost two years ago, while everyone else was fixated on school, I could not believe what I was in the midst of. My soccer team was venturing to state for the first time in school history, boys or girls! Nothing will ever compare to that exhilarating moment.

    I played a season of soccer when I was three years old, well, the other kids played soccer, and I entertained the audience with leaps and turns and prancing along the field. After the season, my aunt took me off the field and into the studio. I remember watching through the window, my cousin taking pointe class. I wanted other people to watch me like I was watching my cousin and to feel that same sense of joy and wonder. Now, fourteen years later, dancing gives me just as much pure joy as it

There are many different formations to use and many different ideas to play with that formation. One particular formation that takes a lot of work includes the three-five-two formation.

I worked hard when I first started to play soccer, I was a bit overweight and it didn’t allow my body to excel as my father wanted, but I worked

    It was a little difficult to pick an event with my busy schedule and everything. I finally picked one though; it ended up being a female soccer game.
