As you can see, soccer is one of my passions. I’ve always liked soccer, but I never played on a team or with someone helping me get better at it. When I was little, I had a small soccer ball and I used to play every afternoon with my dad and my sister. When I went to the beach or to any farm in Mexico, I played with either my family or friends. As soon as I came to live in Costa Rica, I started playing on the soccer team. I started playing soccer on the Varsity team. Every Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00 to 4:30 I played soccer with the high school girls. I stopped playing on the Varsity team because we had to play on any middle school team to be on the Varsity team. Practices were on the same days, so I changed and played on the middle school team. I stopped playing for about four months, becuase I got tachycardia. The doctors tested me with stress tests to see what was wrong with my heart, but everything was good. I haven’t played on the team since January because the season is over. I still practice a little bit of soccer every weekend with my dad. We go out to the yard, and we play one-on-one. I do this with my dad because when he was a teenager he played for some team in Mexico, and he is really good at this sport and gives me many tips. My dad likes this sport as much as I do. In Mexico City, there is a big stadium called Estadio Azteca, which we used to go every time there was a soccer game, especially when our team was playing. We had box seats. It was awesome, and I enjoyed everything about it every time we went there, because we could see the game just perfect. Every time we went there I invited my cousins, who like soccer a lot too.Overall, soccer is my passion and I get really excited every time I play or watch soccer. Even though I don’t plan to be a soccer player when I grow up, I still plan to keep playing for more years.
