There is only one place in the world that I’m truly content; where all my worries leave my head and I find peace with myself and everything around me and that is on the soccer field. I’ve been playing soccer since I could walk and it’s a passion that I’ll always have. As soon as I step onto the field, it’s like everything else around me disappears and nothing in the world matters except what happens on the field. Soccer is the only thing that keeps me sane. It clears my head of stress and worries, and gives me that extra push I need to get through a hard day or tough week. Being able to express my feelings at the field helps my emotions so much better than bottling them up. If you ever see me there, you will see me with the biggest smile on my face. Sometimes I am glad things don't go to well at home because then I wouldn't have as much motivation to go to the field.
The amount of time I'm at the field makes me a better player. Whether my team wins or loses, I’m still content with the hard work we put in and way we all worked together. Soccer is extremely meaningful to me, especially when it comes to way it affects me with my family. Since soccer is a big sport in many countries and played almost everywhere, it keeps me connected to my family in Portugal, whom I don’t see often. It also keeps my family close considering they attend every game and support me endlessly. My main supporter, my dad, is main reason why soccer is so significant to me. I still remember how excited he was when I first started playing and how he still hasn’t changed one bit. Hearing him cheer me on from the sidelines and the smile he gets on his face after a game makes it even more worth it. I started playing soccer when I was four and having my family continue to support me fourteen years later, is a feeling that is indescribable.
The way a soccer field is so significant to me and the passion I have for soccer is all for a reason; to continue to stimulate me even
