Soccer is a sport loved by millions of fans all over the world. As long as I can remember soccer was the sport that I loved and my first memory of soccer was when my dad bought me a ball for my birthday. Back then I liked baseball and I didn’t think I would ever change my mind about it; but when my dad bought me that soccer ball I immediately got attached to it. Everyday as a kid I would always go outside with my brothers and practice. My dad told me stories about when he was a kid back in El Salvador. He told me that him and his friends would make a ball out of old materials, such as old shirts and plastic bags. So I knew how privileged I was to have one. To me a soccer ball represents my passion for the game and the sport of my culture.
