Personal Narrative-Manchester Derby
A solitary hawk shifted its tail against the invisible current and traced lazy circles at the ocean of blue sky .The shoulders of the mountain like the soft contours of a sleeping women blazed bright greenish-yellow light where the fingers of sunlight caressed the features . Such beautiful scenery could be enjoyed from my residence.But what I enjoy most was playing for my team,Manchester United.I was about to make my season debut in a crucial “Manchester Derby”.But I missed half of the season due to a knee-ligament injury.

The seed of this event lied when I was on top form and at the pinnacle of success.Goals were showering whenever the ball reaches my feet.Then,all of a sudden,like a bolt from the blue,I got myself injured.It was against

We were desolate in despair of what to do next.Scoring 2 more goals in such a short time seemed to be the next great challenge for us.But injection of new spirit via substitution by Sir Alex opened a new highway for us in the quest for immortality or I could simply say the champions League title.It was me who scored one of the equalizers by an eye catching free kick from 30 yard mark at the late 70’s.I was then followed by Christiano Ronaldo with his twists and turns which could bluff even the greatest defender of the world.But the most heart-rending scene came for the mighty Barcelona when I scored the winning goal at the 93rd minute by an unforgivable volley from Ronaldo.Eventually,we ended the game by winning the game by 3 goals to 2.It was the happiest moment of my life watching fans taking standing ovations for me as I was announced “The Man of the Match”.I also took bow in reply to them.later,I shared my jersey with Lionel Messi after he appreciated my performance by saying;

“Well played Manarat.You just stole the show from us”.

Meanwhile,my ecstatic eyes caught the sight of my beloved amidst others.She was looking very happy at my success.The swish of the spring breeze made me feel it and I felt detached from this anxiety containing world.

This was all I wanted for a long,long time.Now the next great challenge lied in my way was to get selected for my national team and earn name and fame in the upcoming World

    In addition to this I also showed good refereeing skills according to those who analysed my performance. This is because I used had a good effective use of the scoring system, this is something which is very vital to a referee’s role as it’s important to know which team in winning. The way, in which I shown good effective use of the scoring system was by making sure the players knew the score every time a goal was scored, I also had a notepad which I wrote all the goal scorers numbers on which made sure I knew who exactly score from which team. This was also a good initiative which I decided to do of my own back.

    It had been a long and tough game. The sun was beating down on us and we were all tired when all of a sudden the game’s time limit ran out. We were all tense because no one knew the score. The ref said that the game was tied. We all exhaled. We hadn't even realized we were holding our breaths. That meant we all had to do PKs (Penalty kicks) until one team won.…

    The stands were already getting packed and the crowd getting louder as we all walked off of the buses and into the locker rooms of Doc Harris. Inside it was as quiet as a library. My teammates quickly started to strap their gear on and do what was necessary to prepare for one of the biggest games of the season. As I did the same, I thought back to that week of practice and remembered that most of the players that played varsity at my defensive position were hurt and a big part of me hoped that this would be my chance to start in my first varsity football game, a dream that had consumed my mind since the end of the previous football season.…

    It all started at ninth street with some friends of mine John and I started recruiting some people to come play football with us. I honestly didn’t know I had a pretty decent arm. I originally was going to start practicing to play wide receiver instead of quarterback. At the time Odell Beckham Jr. ( wide receiver for the New York Giants ) was extremely explosive and dynamic on offense. Seeing him blow up on offense made me want to try out for wide receiver. But somehow John convinced me to play quarterback.…

    Soccer was going well until the day before my first scrimmage. I had a dentist appointment before I went to soccer and I was running a tad late. When I got there they were already working on defending drills and everything we normally did after stretches. Instead of doing my stretches I just jumped right in to what everyone else was doing. When it was my turn to defend I put pressure on the ball and when I went to plant my foot to change direction I heard six pops and an instant pain run up my leg. I fell to the ground and landed completely on it and all I could remember was how unbearable the pain was. I eventually became stable with my…

    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…

    My passion is soccer which I have played soccer since I was 5. I was put in soccer because my mom and my dad were athletic and played many sports as a child.
