LIFE MAP
There are many important events that have happened in my life, but there are a few events that are really important to me and that have had a big impact on me. One of them is probably my smaller brother being born. This is important because he is the only brother I have because we are just us two. He is important because he is the only person that I hang out with and play with. Another main event that has happened in my life is the first day of kindergarten. That is important because that would be the beginning of a long period of school time that is about to end when we graduate. Playing soccer for the first time at Monache High school as a freshman is also an important event because that's when I actually started to play higher level soccer. It is also important because I was awarded the MVP of the team and knowing that I was in a really good team being mvp was really important to me. Another really big event that has happened to me in my life is when we bought a new house here in Lindsay. We moved from some small apartments over by Woodville and moving into a big brand new house was really exciting and important to me because it's going to be the place where we live for a long time. The last major event in my life isn't necessarily good. Its is the day that we were forced to switch high schools from Monache to Lindsay because we didn't belong to the same district. So we had to switch schools and that was really hard for me to leave the school I was so used to and all of the friends that I lost. I was also a bit depressed which is why I didn't play soccer my first year here at LHS. The good thing though is that I have got use to this school and getting the hang of it. I am also doing really well with my grades. So this is why this and some others were very important events that have happened to me in my life.
My Autobiographical Narrative
There are many personal qualities that i'm pretty good at, but the main quality or talent that I have that makes me happy and shows what kind of person I am is soccer. I have been playing soccer since as long as I could remember, but I started playing soccer in teams since I was 7 years old. Playing soccer has been very important to me because it is the activity that helps me smoothen and relax in times of stress. Soccer is the only sport that I truly play 100% and that I would consider myself good at. Everything I know about soccer I have to owe it to my dad for spending the time to play with us and train us.
Playing soccer also makes me happy because it is where we have won so many trophies of playing with teams. All our lives playing me and my brother have filled countless shelves full of trophies from teams that we've played in. Paying in soccer teams also makes me happy because it's where i've met so many new friends and made very good experiences with them. We always supported each other even when we lost. Soccer has also made me a much more social person when playing because now more and more people look at you at someone who knows what he's doing and someone with experience. Ive also helped smaller kids with issues they've had while playing, like better and more simpler ways to play that will also make them better while playing, or better ways on how to control a ball and know what the best option is and what to do with the ball. This has helped me be a nicer person.
Throughout my day I have a fairly simple schedule. First we go to school, when we come back we eat and stay in our house for a while until the heat cools, then we go to a school to play soccer. We do this every single day of the week. In the weekends it's slightly different, instead of going to play we stay in our house to watch soccer games on TV the whole day. It's the best thing I enjoy doing instead of going out or going to parties, we stay and watch soccer on TV. The last thing that i'm proud of myself about soccer is my reputation. Every time someone plays with us or we play in a team they're always really happy to have me or my brother because we have a good reputation of being good at playing that people or teams know us for playing good that they want to be with us and play with us. If it weren't for the fact that we play constantly everyday and run a lot, I wouldn't be in a good shape or good health. I am thankful that playing soccer is what helps me be in good shape and it's what helps me get off the couch. I couldn't imagine my life without playing soccer. I would probably go crazy and wouldn't know what to do anymore because i'm so use to playing. So this is one personal quality that I enjoy doing and relates to the kind of person I am.
