Topic 3 Family

My Family:

People always tell me that I resemble my mom. First, because my height. She was short, and I'm too.
She was a hard working person, active, friendly, polite, and always trying to help people. I learned too many things from her. Her honesty was  one of her attributes that I  liked the most.

My mother became a widow when I was 18 years old. She had to take care of three kids by herself.
Practically,my mom was a mother and father to me. Like the majority of mothers , she gave her love for her kids.

All the goods things  that she did in her life, I always try to imitate her. If you ask me right now who is the person that shaped my life, without a doubt I'll say " Is my mom " She's my  heroine.

On the other hand, I don't have any resemblance with my dad other than he was a happy person, and even when he had problems he didn't shove any sign of being under stress.    My dad was tall, handsome, good looking, easygoing person, unfortunately, I didn't enjoy my dad in life, because he
passed away a the age of 35. But let me tell you he also was a great parent,great son and a great friend.

Well, this is a short version of my life with my parents who I always going to be so thankful for what they taught my brothers and me.

Topic 2 Soccer Career

Where I'm coming from, soccer is the sport that most of the kids will play in their life's.
I was one of them. I remembered playing with a soccer ball when I was around 7 years old.
That was in Elementary School where I saw for first time other kids my age, playing the same sport.

I discovered another sports and activities, but soccer was the one that really liked the most.
I never thought about playing in a professional environment, until I reached my teen years. I was 17 years old when I was invited to try out for a soccer team that play in a Regional League ( that team used to travel outside of the city). After playing there for a year. again I was invited to practice with a professional team, but  with the youth program.  After 6 months I was promoted to the first team were
I stayed for 5 years.

Playing professionally it was a great experience  because I met a lot of people and I got to know my own country very well because of traveling with the team. I traveled to different countries in Central America and believe me, is was awesome.

But not everything was fantastic, after playing for four years, I started missing my family members and some friends from my neighborhood, also, I got married, and some things started to changed.

One day my wife and I decided to come and try a new life in California. At first, it was difficult, especially with the new language, culture and other things that we weren't familiar with.

Any way, I'd like to tell you that my life in California has been fantastic, and I'm enjoying it tremendously.

OK. fellow classmates, now you know a little more about me, and I'll  talk to you guys soon.
