<p>To many people, soccer is just a sport where "you kick and chase a ball". To me, it means so much more than that. In my eight years of playing soccer, I have gone through a rollercoaster journey that has taken me all the way from being a bench player to becoming the captain of my soccer team. I had to fight for a starting spot on the team when I started playing soccer and this has taught me that there is no easy way out in life; if you want something, you have to earn it. As the captain of my team, I have learned leadership skills through guiding the new and younger players on the team. Soccer brings me immense amounts of joy as well because playing the sport is also is my escape from the real world. When I play, I forget all my struggles and problems and enjoy the most beautiful sport in the world. The adrenaline I get when I bury the ball into the back of the net is unmatched and celebrating the goal with my teammates makes it all the worthwhile. Simply put, I love soccer.</p>
