Ana's Story

My passion is Soccer.

I'm on my school soccer team. Even though there are only pure juniors and seniors I joined it anyways because I wanted to try new things. Soccer for me, it's something I could express myself and something I could spend my free time on . I enjoy playing soccer at school. When I'm at my house I spend my time on the field with friends because that's what I love . There are people who tell me to just stop playing because I supposedly suck but I don't listen because I know one day I'll get better by hard work and loving what I do.

Nike soccer camp will help me explore my passion by accepting me by who I am. They will help me by making me a better soccer player and by supporting me. Also by giving me all the support, what a soccer player needs. They will help me on getting me out of my comfort zone because I'm shy and they would help me feel more confident for who I am. Another reason they would help me by making me meet new people that have the same passion as me .

The community I live is somewhere were people think we won't make to college because there us a lot of low come families and a lot of gangs where young adults would join because people think that's cool. Reality is that it is not . My school is where people are scared to join because of all the history we have heard from. When I was in junior high that wasn't my dream high school I wanted to go because I was scared from all the stuff I heard, but I heard of a program called college track . College track to me was something I wanted to apply to be a first generation in my family, that was the reason I applied to Jordan. My biggest obstacle is keeping track on school, college track, and soccer soccer practice because I have to manage that in my every day life. I'm working on it by paying attention in school, going to soccer practice, doing my homework, getting help , and studying at college track. I would over come it by always thinking that one day I will have my degree .
