Soccer

         It's just me, the defender and the ball. I fake out the defender and then another. I am unstoppable. Now, with only the goalie left, I rush towards the goal with the ball at lightning speed. I then shoot the ball and it goes straight between the legs of the goalie. GOAL! The whole stadium is roaring. My team mates come and pat me on the back. Time to get back into position and do it all over again.
       
         Soccer is my favorite sport out of the many I play. I have played soccer since I was 10 years old. When I first wanted to play soccer I didn't know anything about the sport. The first time I made a goal it felt good. I wanted to make more goals  to help out my team. That is why I went on to play four years after. Each year I got better and better until I was one of the best players on the team. It feels good to be the best. It means that you can help the people that aren't as good as you to be better. I like the feeling of being accomplished.

         The second reason is because of being on a team. Being on a team means that you are always being supported. You can also ask for help instead of having to do everything yourself. If you try to do everything yourself you won't get very far. You won't get anything done either. Being on a team means you can count on your team mates for back up. When you score a goal you are patted on the back and told that you did a good job. It makes you feel good. Also, being on a team builds people skills. At first when you get to the first practice, you don't know anyone. Neither does anyone else. It is a good opportunity to make friends.

         My biggest passion is soccer because of how it is my favorite sport and being on a team.
