Outside of school, I enjoy playing soccer. I’ve been playing since the age of six, I remember my first time playing and immediately falling in love with the sport.  Soccer has impacted my life in many ways its taught to never give up and if you truly want something to keep working until you get it.  

I play soccer 4 out of 7 days a week and 3 of those days consist of an hour and a half long practices and then the other day, of course, is a game.  Like I said before I have been playing soccer since the age of six meaning I have been playing the sport for eight years now.  Soccer has enabled me to make new friends and become a more athletic healthier person.  

 Through soccer, I have made some of my closest friends whom I can’t imagine living without.  Another thing about soccer I love is how it’s a team sport everyone works together to win the game and I feel like that creates a close bond with the players who are on the same team.  

Soccer also helps with social skills and communication because in order to work with your team and create a bond with your teammates you need to communicate with each other about a variety of things. 

In conclusion, soccer has changed my life in a number of ways and I believe in a way it has helped shaped me into the person I am today.
