Personal Narrative: My Experience In College
I started learning the basics skills and rules of the game. I started playing Belle-Clair when I was four or five years old, after I saw my sister playing, I wanted to get started as quickly as possible. I played with girls that I went to school with. Every practice and game was so entertaining. Being able to play with my friends outside of schools and getting snacks after every game was the best part. Just being able to have fun as a kid was enjoyable as well. After a little while being on Belle-Clair, my sister switched teams and went to a select team called BFC (Belleville Football Club). I told my mom I wanted to join the same club. She said she was not sure if they had my age group but she will go ahead and look. Few days with my sister being on the team, my …show more content…
Even though, it was just a year, it was just so great. I could not put into words how much I miss it. And would do anything to be able to play again with her. Since I am going to SWIC, Lindenwood usually plays them in pre-season but for some reason SWIC did not schedule them, which upset me because I could have the chance to play against her. But overall, I am so glad that I got to play soccer for at least thirteen years. Each practice and game have taught me which made me a better player and become the player I am today. I can not thank all my coaches for what they have taught me and gave me speeches about not being so hard on myself and staying positive. The teammates I have met throughout all the years, I keep in touch with most of them. If I could start from the very beginning of being a kid, just chasing the ball, I would in heartbeat. Because it was so much fun and I love every second of it. I have put my whole life into this sport and I do not regret any decision that I turned down for this sport. I can not wait till what college has in store for me and the near future after

    I’ve been trained to respect my coach and teammates, which today and In the future will help me to be disciplined in whatever I decide to do in my life. Soccer is my escape. It helps me get away whenever I’m having a hard time. I have one of the most special memories of having my mom as my first coach ever. She is the reason I’m where I am today. Every game when I step my foot on the field, I’m reminded that she is looking over me from above cheering me on. It’s an amazing feeling knowing I can connect with her through the game. I’ll try to make my mom proud in everything I do on and off the field. My experience playing will always be appreciated. Guidance from my coaches throughout the year helped me not only be a better soccer player but a better person overall. I appreciate the game of soccer and everything it had taught me through the years and how it will affect me later on. I just can’t name one sport I’d rather play. For some reason if soccer wasn’t invented I would be lost. It’s more than just a game. The endless workouts of sweat and blood will never go to waste in my book. I’ll never take the game for…

    I made the team my junior year. Although I did not start the first games because the coach would put some of his favorite players in but one game he put me in second half and no one would get pass me. I was taking all the all the balls away from the opponents and also winning them in the air. After that game I became the starter for every game. It felt good because there were only seven juniors on the team and I was one out of three juniors that started every game. But I was really clad for myself because all the hard work I did over the summer paid off. We were in a tournament and were playing to go to the finals. We won 7 -1. I scored my first goal in that game. When I thought everything was going good one of the opponent player slide and hit me in the knee with his cleats and I just fell and I could not walk because it was the worst pain in the…

    On the last tryout day my sister took me home with my friend Esteban and Zavala. Esteban had just tried out with me and our friend Zavala who is a year older, had already made the soccer team. Me and my friend Esteban, who both are great soccer players did not get the opportunity to participate in the last tryout day. We were disappointed since we were most certain we would make it. Coming to school was bothersome knowing I could not play on the team with my friends. All my hard work felt like it had gone to waste.…

    Around the middle of fall in the month of November, 2015, an event occurred that I never thought would have happened. I have been playing soccer since I was about four years old. As I began to grow older, more opportunities soon started to come into my life. Furthermore, this amazing soccer team always had tryouts this time. I had tried out before for this team the year before and I did not make it. Therefore, I did not want to try out again because I was way too frightened of the disappointment that might come upon me again. But still, I signed up for the travel soccer team when I was twelve years old. Although, I could not have done this without my supportive and encouraging parents to help me become hard-working and more determined…

I know the game as well as anyone, and I don’t mind saying it. Don't ever mention watching soccer games around my sisters. They'll immediately tell you not to invite me. I talk to the players.…

    As I have begun my transition to college I’ve often questioned my enrollment and asked myself if I am truly ready for this next chapter in my life, or am I going to end up like the rest of my family before me. I am by all mean a first generation student and I’ve often seen that as a good thing as I will be apple to advance my family, but now as time has passed I’ve been able to see that pushing through won’t be easy.

    I failed. The first time in college I failed myself, I lost who I was and I didn’t really know how to get the boy I was back. It is easy to lose yourself when you’ve failed to figure out who you were in the first place. I grew up in an environment where I had to be what everyone else wanted and needed me to be so the last thing I had time to do was figure out who I needed to be, so when I applied for college the only thing I wanted to do was forget how hard the past seventeen years were. I majored in a pointless endeavor to make people adore me. I fought so hard seeking adoration which is something I never really felt, but then when the reality of a breeching adult decisions began appearing in the horizon I ran. I ran away to Atlanta with a…

    In the summer leading up to my first semester in college, my expectations were high. I assumed that all I had to do was study, attend my classes and I would breeze through the courses with ease. As I predicted, I began the fall semester effortlessly and my confidence was higher than before. As a student in the Honors College, I was presented with a mass amount of opportunities that I found it impossible to isolate myself from others which I always had a tendency to do. I began to participate in several events and volunteered through many different institutions. Collaborating with the Institute for Civic Engagement and Democracy my ENC 1101 class and I initiated an event where we formed a service learning project that would educate and encourage students at Miami Dade College North Campus to take part in this year’s election. Through participating in that event and many similar to it I learned that being engaged is an…
