Soccer Rules!

J.R.S.
Smith Elementary School
4th Grade

I was sweating. I had just scored my first goal this season. Everyone was cheering for me. I was so happy.

I first started playing when I was about four years old. I was born in Mexico, so that’s where I learned to play. My grandpa used to play, he inspired me to play. My dad would play with us. We would play at the back of my tia’s house. It would be the adults versus the little kids. The adults would score the most goals,but one time me and my cousin had scored a goal. I like soccer because it represents my country.

I still like soccer because I am good at it and I like being midfielder. My favorite player is Giovani Dos Santos. He has scored 57 goals this year. I hope I will get better throughout the years.
