Henry Bibb was born a slave in 1815 in Shelby County Kentucky. Bibb learned to read and write when he was 18 years old in a Sabbath School, which was closed down by neighborhood patrols. Bibb wrote an autobiography where he professes to “…learned the art of running away to perfection.” In his autobiography he paints a vivid picture of life as a Slave in the South and he made it his ambition to run away every chance he got. He finally was able to run away to Canada and became a free man.
Sophomore year I was playing at a soccer tournament with my old team. I was playing a great game even though the score was not reflecting my hard work. Towards the end of the game I jumped up caught the ball landed, my body went one way and my legs went the other, then I fell to the ground. Everyone around me had heard a pop, I knew it was my ACL. From this moment in my soccer career I knew I needed to be determined and to be focused on my recovery in order to get back out there.
I used to run down the sideline shaking the goal jar, now I run around with a cash box at every school event asking for donations for the senior class. I’ve realized that some things never actually change, they just evolve to become something bigger. Soccer challenged me, brought me a great amount of happiness, and truly inspired me to be the leader I am
One of the most incredible and rewarding ways in which I have been able to make an impact on the lives of others is by volunteering my time through the avenue of my favorite sport; soccer. From a very young age, my parents have put a lot of time and money into me being able to play soccer and it is because of this that I have found success in my sport. I feel as though everyone should be given the same opportunity to possibly fall in love with the game and develop as a player. Additionally, I have always loved little kids and been interested in positively affecting the lives of those with mental and/or physical disabilities, as my mother is a Preschool Special Education Teacher and I have learned about disabilities from a young age. This interest
Soccer, or football as it's known in many parts of the world, has a unique way of bringing people together. It's a sport that transcends borders, languages, and cultures. For me, soccer has been an integral part of my life, and there's one moment that changed everything. This moment wasn't just about winning a game or scoring a goal. It was about discovering my passion for soccer, overcoming setbacks, and achieving success on and off the field.
Before Christmas I had a indoor soccer tournament and it was the same place my mom used to play indoor soccer when I was a little kid so it was like dayshavoo every time I went there even though I have very few memories of it. The game was tied but playing in that tiny space made me frustrated because I couldn 't run without running into someone over and over again so I had to mind my space and always look over my shoulder so that when I turn I won 't get it taken away from me right away but I liked that there were walls to rebound the shots and so we could pass to ourselves when no one is open.
This year was great some of my highlights are basketball and touch rugby. I’m proud that i moved to room 43 because i have gotten smarter stronger and faster also i have meet some new friends that helped me thru the year i will miss some of them. The most challenging thing was the tests because I had to think hard. I’ve achieved my goal of being better at soccer because I’ve been play with Reece and Guy and they have helped me aswell. I want to to the same goal as this year getting better at soccer and hopefully I can find Reece and Guy To up my Soccer skills because i think if you play with better people you get better as well.
I finally arrived on the field, I sat on the chilled ground of the soccer field prepping my shin guards and shoes. As I was getting ready I notice a really small and hairy Chaldean walking with a clipboard, thinking that it was probably a student manager, but as he started to walk closer into my distance and towards the varsity team I had realized that it was the head coach of the team. I became a little relieved thinking to myself, well if he had played soccer throughout his whole life he should be able to understand the struggle and difficulty of playing soccer as a short person.
As a little boy I had big dreams of playing football. When I was walking in the halls of the intermediate and middle school and saw the high school football players with their jerseys on, they were like super stars. I looked up to them because I wanted to be like them. The high school football players were popular, they were happy, and they were important to the school. Going to the football games on Friday nights was the highlight of my week.
Soccer has been my life This whole entire time since the day I came out, the story I will talk about is mostly about soccer. The reason why I said ‘’ Soccer has been my life This whole entire time since the day I came out ‘’ is because, on July 20, 2001, there was a soccer player is known as fenômeno AKA (Ronaldo luís nazário de lima) the was the best player in the 2000’s he has played for a lot of years he was born in Brazil he played for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus and a lot of other teams. On July 20 there was a game which he scored about seven goals they won the game seven zero, on July 27, 2001, seven days after that happened I was born and my dad my uncles, my brothers my whole village were in love with the way Ronaldo plays the way he
I began playing soccer when I was eight, which isn’t a very long time, but throughout the six years I’ve been playing, soccer has changed my life. My weekends, as well as some of my weekdays, have been devoted to soccer. Soccer has taught me how to be humble, kind and how to make sure my emotions don’t overpower my
As there were ten minutes before the game we kept on doing the drills until I heard my coach announcing the starting lineup. I heard my name being announced so I prepared myself to go to the field. I could already see the trophy as it was in a table. As I walked in the field I could smell the trimmed grass and could hear my teammates say “we got this.”
Being shoved to the ground and coming up with a mouthful of turf and a bloody nose isn’t the ideal way to spend a friday night, but for me, it's something I put blood, sweat, and tears into. Soccer has been a passion of mine since my father dropped me off at the local YMCA when I was at the tender age of four. Spending all of my free days for thirteen years running after a soccer ball is arguably what made me into the person I am today. Unity, tenacity, passion and pride have all been morals that are valued within the sport and in my own philosophy. I have explored places I’d never give a second thought to because my sport took me there.
As an in-coming freshman who hadn’t played on a school team in middle school, I was at a disadvantage because I was behind in skills and didn’t know many of the tricks. Fortunately, the coach saw my potential and I made the varsity team. My coaches and teammates continually pushed me and helped me become an even better player than I was before. Over the course of my four years on the team, I faced several obstacles that made me feel weak and inadequate, but to overcome them I reminded myself that I loved soccer. The biggest obstacle I faced was getting a concussion my junior year.
One of the most significant activities in my life would have to be soccer ever since I got a hold of the ball in 10th grade, it sparked my interest and a fire was ignited. It simply stared with a few friends asking me to join them then slowly progressed into everyday after school I would go outside to kick around the ball, I never really knew it was for me until I started getting more into it, soccer became my outlet more like an escape for me, it was somewhere I could go when I needed to be alone just the ball and I. Honestly, I never knew that it would affect me in the way it has, it started out as a just for fun kind of thing, then it escalated into actually playing games, turning more into a passion and I could actually see myself in the
