The instructor said, Go home and write a page tonight.
And let that page come out of you—
Then, it will be true.

How to know what the future holds for me?
What will I be in life…?
Well I am just a sixteen year old guy who loves to play soccer,
Born in El Salvador,
A soft more at Miguel Contreras,
But most importantly a guy who dreams big. perhaps I should keep quiet, and not tell anyone my dreams, cause if no one knows my dreams, then they can’t shoot them down.

For the past six-teen years people have entered and left my life,
Regardless if it has been my fault or the other persons fault,
I believe everything happens for a reason,
And if I meet someone, it will either be a lesson or blessing.
I have learned to not blame anyone for my mistakes, other than myself.

I live a happy life.
Spend a lot of quality time with my family and friends, play soccer every day, work hard every day, to get better.
I like to stay after school to talk and bond with my friends.

Soccer is my passion.
But studying is an obligation,
As an immigrant student I have felt in the past as if the struggles are too much,
But my mother always told me, there will always be light at the end of the tunnel.
And the differed act has been that light for me.
There are two door in my life which I hope they both open,
I know life is not always fair, but I know I will be successful
So if I won’t be able to live my life playing soccer for a living,
I know I’ll have a bright future if I keep studying hard.
So please don’t judge me before you get to know me.

    Every human is on an adventure that is long and filled with conflicts. How those obstacles are overcome builds character. Smart decisions must be made and mistakes conquered. In Mythology, by Edith Hamilton heroes faced decisions that determined their identity. Oedipus was determined to avoid his prophecy, but he only succeeded in fulfilling it. Achilles embraced his fate. Odysseus faced many tribulations, but was dedicated to make it home. Hercules met every challenge, but was defeated by love. In Greek Mythology the journey represented the internal struggles and eventual perseverance of mortals.…

    I am only a mere seventeen years old and although there are numerous past challenges which continue to surface as obstacles to this day, such as my knee surgery, there is a whole world of adulthood which I am entirely oblivious to that will undoubtedly provide me with issues as well. Being a teenager is difficult; I have the responsibilities of applying for colleges, finishing my schoolwork, slowly prying myself from beneath my parents' wing, and challenging medical obstacles. Because physical therapy (the community and the quote) has inspired me in immeasurable ways, I have learned to focus on my potential and my capabilities rather than my weaknesses in not only soccer, but also my schoolwork, music, and all other aspects of my…

I first started playing I was four or five years old and am still currently playing for the Cape Coral Cyclones and the Oasis Sharks Varsity team.

Soccer has been a major part of my life ever since I was a kid and it has had a huge impact as well. Along with playing the game, I have also developed valuable teamwork and leadership skills.…

    Immigrant Challenges

    An immigrant faces many challenges in the new country they arrive in. Whether they chose go willingly to another country, or they do so because of necessity, the challenges do not decrease. The first challenge is to fit in and understand how anything works. Things such as the social norms, the expectations, and the civil regulations must be identified and adhered to. There is no one to help you initially, and you are thrust into the deep end with limited resources and limited knowledge. But the one thing that you do have is a drive, a motive. There is a clear reason for the immigrant to have left their country of origin, and a drive to accomplish something. This drive was evident in my parents, who came over from Pakistan under the pressure…

    Growing up in an immigrant family shaped my view of life. Neither of my parents achieved their goals of higher education, so they enforced their beliefs on their three children; the oldest daughter (who battles with identity issues), a son (who grew up playing basketball to express his emotions of not knowing his biological father), and last but not least, the youngest daughter (who faces an endless battle of stress and depression). As a result of my parents forcing their beliefs onto their children, a competitive barrier formed around us. As the youngest child, I had to watch my older siblings achieve the most in their schools, while I was left as the “last child” to the rest of my family members; the “last child” to achieve something. They…

    It was a rainy Saturday when we meet up; Sam is sitting in a coffee shop waiting for me, and he was quiet as usual. As an American citizen, I believe is fair to say that all of us are immigrant from foreign countries except the Native American.

    During my off season from soccer, I plan to be a sports commentator for ESPN or to open up my own personal training business. This will help me to make more money and allow me to continue to work after I retire from professional soccer. I would like to eventually be asked to commentate for the women’s FIFA world cup. If I do not follow through with my main plan because of injury or loss of interest, I would like to go to college solely for a degree in business and sports education. After graduating from college, I would open up a full time personal training business for soccer teams. There I would be able to teach many young players the game of soccer and help them to perfect their…
