The United States women’s national soccer team is being torn under discrimination and how they are being treated as an individual. Throughout the years, the women have accomplished so much more than the men, but yet are being paid less than what the men are making.

Her head turns towards the football field on her right and then turns to the soccer field on her left. She admires the fields and begins to hear band music over powering the loud noises coming from the active games going on. Serena’s eyes start to close as she drifts into the deep

I hear cheers and chants for the Red team because, at this point in the game, we are tied. I can smell smoke as the enemy team gets past the defenders. There is only one minute left in the game.

In 2013, on a Saturday morning, my mom woke me up early that day. She shook me and when I finally woke up, she said, “Wake up Nikhil
