The Love for the Game

Soccer is my life. I carry it with me every second of the day and night. Whether I am literally carrying a soccer ball and cleats or not. The Love and Passion for the game defines me in every aspect of life. For example my morals are derived from the game. The hard work, dedication, and leadership, all from the game. In addition, my decision on where I go to college is not only based on the academics, size, and atmosphere, but also what soccer coach wants me the most and will give me the most money. That's the deal breaker. Physically. If I ever look tired it's most likely from soccer, not from pulling an all nighter. From the way I stumble through the hallways to the infamous soccer tan, I reflect the game. Then there are the endless amount of scars and cuts that are depicted from my knee down. These are reminders of the sacrifice I put forth for the game. Furthermore there's the fact that at least half of the people I associate with play soccer. This creates a soccer environment away from the field. I have one love and that's for the game. I think a phrase from a song by dean's list called dear professor pretty much sums it all up, " I'm addicted to the thrill, the dream of being big."
