stop. There was something in my heart that was trying to strike me very hard again and again. I
hold me heart and I was thinking about my life. “Does play soccer really the only one thing I Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, (Asian)

want to do in my whole life?” I started to memorize every moment in my life. “No, not really.” Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, (Asian)

There was a very faint voice in my heart. One of the reason I am so into soccer is because I really
enjoy being a leader to lead my team. Everybody has the same goal and one mind. I love to

pursue a big goal with my teammates, my friends, and everybody around me. I am a
“Protagonist”, my teacher told me. As a ENFJ, the result from MBTI test, I love to motivate my

team and bring everybody to reach our goal. Actually, there are many different jobs I can do and

I will love to do. To be a great leader is on top of everything in my mind.

My parents must have known this too because without warning, they cut my living expenses.
When I confronted them about this, they were steadfast: they would no longer contribute

anything towards my soccer aspirations and to make sure, they would only give me enough
money for room and board. Commented [JC13]: I delete the last two paragraphs and
revise the whole thing to be our last paragraph because I
want to emphasize “your personal growth and a new
understand of yourself”
A year has passed and I’m still playing soccer sometimes, but I think we have reached a

compromise. Though I will always wonder what it will be like to go pro, I have decided I would
like to study sports management. I believe it will give me the skills I need to help my parents but

it will also keep me involved in sports. I hope that in this way, one day I can give a young person

the inspiration to follow his or her dreams.
