This brings me to the events that changed my life from wanting to be a soccer player to now wanting to be an accountant. It all began when I wasn’t born yet. According to my mom she always told me that I used to kick a lot inside of her whom. She always said that I would be a famous soccer player. When I was six years old I saw my first soccer match on TV. It was the last match of the qualifying round between Mexico and Uruguay in 1990. After seeing that game I knew I wanted to play soccer, and that my dream is to play for the cantonal team of Mexico.
Couple of years later I was playing pee wee soccer. That year we won the championship. I continued to play for a couple more years where I polished my skills as peewees, which lead us to a couple more championships. My life started to change when I entered middle school. In 7th grade it was one of my best years. Knowing that I wanted to play soccer I tried out for the schools soccer team, and because of my skills I ended up in the first string of the team. We went undefeated that season and ended up winning the championship that year.
The allowing year it wasn’t so great because that is when the course of events started to change my life. It was towards the middle of the season when I got injured with a torn CAL in my right leg. That injury ended the season for me and I had to have surgery. Since I wasn’t able to play for the rest of the season I had to choose an elective. I didn’t know what to pick since the only thing that I thought about was soccer. I finally thought that math was the closest thing that had to deal with soccer. So I Joined the math club from school because I knew that by learning about metro could show me a lot about soccer.
For example, angles how much I need to bend my body if I wanted the ball in a certain direction. Since that day I knew that my dream started to change. I started to love working with numbers, but my heart still told me that I still should go after my dream when I recovered from my injury. After returning from my CAL injury I was already a sophomore in high school. I went ahead and played that year, Junior, and senior years with out a problem. I was until the last match of my high school career when my life gave a 360-degree turn.
It was towards the end the match when a opposite player hit me in the right knew and injured me again. Went to see the doctor that saw me before back in middle school and he advised me that I wouldn’t be able to play soccer for indefinite time. After returning none I and to take an elective to tins up the year. So I took Business Professional of America that offered to teach you to become a professional in life. Towards the end of the year we have to compete in different categories and I chose Payroll-Accounting. I ended up winning 1st place that year.
After that night I knew that my dream of becoming a soccer player had ended, and went ahead and embraced my new dream of becoming an accountant. Now you know how my dream of becoming a famous soccer player started as a kid and changed through the course of my middle and high school years and wasn’t part of the 2% of students that was offered a NCAA Scholarship. We shouldn’t take anything for granted because it could change in a blink of an eye. So now I am here at CNN doing my undergraduate studies to become an accountant and finally achieving my dream.
