"Being a Soccer Player"

Have you ever played soccer?

Have you ever been on a soccer field?

Playing soccer is exciting.

Playing soccer is fun

and playing soccer is my life.

When I put on my uniform,

I become a different person.

I feel like I can do anything I want to.

When I run on the grass

with the ball at my feet,

I feel powerful

I feel aggressive.

When I look around

and I see my teammates.

I feel like I’m looking at my family.

Playing soccer is teamwork.

You have to play smart

and use all of your ability

to overcome your opponents.

When you score a goal,

you feel like a rockstar,

you feel important,

you feel special,

you feel like

you bumped up a grade at last,

and you feel like

you accomplished your dream.

Being a soccer player is my world.

Being a soccer player is my life.
