Soccer is a team sport, played by toe teams competing to score goals in each other. Evry team should have eleven players, and seven players are stand by.Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. For me, it was a family hoppy because my father does play it and my entire uncle did. My brothers and I had been going with my dad and watch him play. I had the passion to play soccer because of them and I was wanted to become as a famous player in Saudi Arabia Majed Abdullah. From that moment my sibling and play it and like it very much. Also, we were fans to Al-Etihad FC as my father does because most of children want to become like their fathers. My father once bought for us a football, so my brother and I keep play with it and watch soccer matches to learn some skills. Furthermore, when we became good player, we start to play against my cousins and our neighbors. We won in all of games we took medallions. After that I was plan to win on my brothers and get the medallion from them to look a hero on my father eyes, so I started watch a lot soccer matches and soccer animation. I learn a lot of skills such as how to shoot by left foot, how to skip from the player, and how to pass the ball under the player and that happen when I was in second grade in elementary school. I start to collect my team from my cousins and my neighbors, so my oldest brother and I made a competition and we asked my father to judge. So I won the game and my dad was surprised of the way I was played, so he gave me a hundred SR is about $26 but in that time it value a lot because when my father gave us 5 RS we feel like rich.

    Ritual is defined as a prescribed formal behavior for occasions not given over technological routine, having reference to beliefs in mystical beings or powers (Turner, 1962, p.19). One of my family rituals in my culture is soul calling and string-tying known in the Hmong culture as Hu Plig Khi Tes. This ritual is originated with my family by passed down from one generation to another throughout many generations. It is a health-like ritual often performed for a family member who is recovering for a sickness. It also can be done to welcome a new bride or a newborn baby. In order for this ritual to occur, a shaman visits the home of the person who needs their soul to be checked on. At the front door of the house, he will ring a gong while calling for the lost spirit. A live chicken is used; it is tied by it feet and put inside a bag, awaiting to be sacrificed for the spirit. After the shaman is done calling for the spirit, the chicken will be killed and served to the guest of honor. In addition, a soul calling can be done to welcome a new bride to welcome her to the spiritual clan of her husband’s family and to welcome a newborn baby to the world. Afterward, a string-tying ceremony is carried out after the hu plig. A string-tying ceremony is when family members and family friends tie a white string around the wrists of the guest of honor which the strings are thought to protect the person from misery and misfortune. In my culture, rituals are a…
