What does soccer mean to me?

  Soccer to many people  is just a sport, but to me it's a way of life.  When I was about three years old, I was intrigued to play soccer.  I may not have understood what I was doing at the time, but it just felt like I was meant to play.  When you step on that field nothing else matters, all your worries just shift to the back of your mind.  When the game starts, I  feel this unknown energy come up from inside of me. I get the ball, I don't think I just play. I pass the ball to my teammate who sends me the ball wide, I trap it and run.  Swiftly, I pass the defender leaving her puzzled in her tracks. I feel a stronger energy when I inch towards the goal.  I'm face to face with the goalie when I shoot... I watch the the back of the net shake.  All of my teammates congratulate me with open arms as we run back to our half.  Words cannot describe how incredible that feeling is.
