Tell Me About Your Strength!
Around September of 2015, my select soccer season finally began. I was beyond exited to start off the season and to see my soccer friends after a very long time. After a couple of weeks of training and hard work, my coach thought it was a good time to pick someone to be the captain of the team, or the leader on the field in other words.
I thought that it would be such an honor to be chosen for such a great role.
Later that week, it was time to announce who was going to be chosen. I was anxiously waiting to hear who he was going to pick. Once I heard my name I was thrilled! I was also nervous since being captain is such a big role. As captain you have to talk to the ref about their outrageous calls, cheer up your teammates after a rough game or practice, always be encouraging, always stay positive, and most importantly, never give up. I knew it may be hard, but I was ready. My strength is to always encourage others to work hard and to be a leader.
Something Unique About Me: I love volunteering to help out others in my community.
