My dads soccer jersey is special to me  because he wore it when he played professional before he moved to the US once he moved here he started his own soccer club and that's when I started playing soccer I really love playing soccer . My whole family plays soccer. It's something that runs in my family. If I join a new club I always try to get number 11 because it makes my dad feel happy. Every time I  talk to my dad about how it was when he was professional he just remembers all the good memories he had and it makes me think what would've happened if he didn't move to the US. The only bad thing is that there aren't a lot of videos or pictures of him playing because of how long ago it was. Knowing my dad was professional makes me feel happy because I want to make it professional for my dad. Whenever I wear the number 11 I feel like I can do anything. It reminds me that he will always be by my side and will always believe in me, even when I mess up. His jersey is way more than just clothes, it's about my family, my dreams and how much we both love soccer. It wants me to be just like him, maybe better. It's not just about the soccer stuff, that jersey reminds me of all the times we would go to the park and kick the ball with my sister as well and he would teach us everything about the game. My dads  jersey is a reminder of my dads legacy and our love for soccer. When ever I'm feeling down or need a little inspiration i just put on his jersey and remember why I love the sport.
