Question
I was proud of myself when I won my first soccer game in a year. First, we set up then like 5 to 10 minutes go by and we get our 1st goal a couple minutes later and our 2nd goal. Now it 2 to 0 and its half time. 2nd half goes by slower. 10 minutes in still 2-0, 5 minutes goes still nothing. And 20 minutes and we get our 3rd goal. Let’s go! A couple minutes later 4th goal, then it’s the end of the game and I have just won my first goal in a year!
This was at an away game I don't remember where. This happened in the afternoon. I remember feeling happy because I was playing soccer. There was barely any wind. The sun in my eyes.
Me I was/is 13. My teammates, that are 12 to 13. My mom, my sister, and my coaches.
We are talking on the field about who goes for the ball or who takes goal kicks.
I thought about it later and was happy that one of my kicks from defense contributed to a goal. I was happy that I ran outside of practice so I could stay in the game longer, and not be as tried.
I learned that if I keep trying and doing my best, I will see result.
I was thinking of having a story about soccer. My story would be about how I’ve played for 3 years won games on and off then for 2 seasons in a row I lost every game but now this season I have finally won a game. I was thinking of calling 'Hard Work Pays Off' Because I would go harder at practice play with a ball at home or run once or twice a week. I also think hard work pays off could go worldwide because it shows putting in the hard and seeing an outcome.
Not taking enough shots on goal.

**Hard Work Pays Off: My Journey in Soccer**
Soccer has always been a passion of mine. Over the past three years, I have poured my heart and soul into the game, but like any journey, mine has had its ups and downs. For two seasons in a row, I faced a string of losses, which left me feeling disheartened and questioning my abilities. Yet, through determination and hard work, I experienced a breakthrough that led to my first victory in a year—a moment that reaffirmed my belief that hard work truly pays off.
It was a sunny afternoon during an away game, the details of which remain etched in my memory. Our team, comprised of kids aged 12 to 13, gathered excitedly on the field, despite being visitors in a place I couldn’t quite recall. As the whistle blew, our enthusiasm translated into immediate action. Within the first five to ten minutes, we executed our game plan, scoring our first goal. Just a couple of minutes later, we netted our second goal. At halftime, the score stood at 2-0, and I felt a surge of joy wash over me.
The second half dragged on, and although it felt like time was moving at a snail's pace, I remained hopeful. Ten minutes in, we held our lead. I could feel the anticipation building as my teammates and I continuously communicated about ball movement and defense. As we reached the halfway point of the second half, I realized that my earlier efforts in practice—the extra runs and the hours spent kicking the ball around—were coming to fruition.
Then, like a shot of adrenaline, we scored our third goal! I couldn’t believe it. A few minutes later, a fourth goal sealed our win. When the final whistle blew, I was overwhelmed with joy, but it wasn’t just about the win; it was about how I had contributed to it. I remembered that one kick from defense earlier in the game that helped initiate a fast break and led to our first goal. It was a moment of validation for all the hard work I had put in, and for the first time in a year, I had scored my first goal.
Reflecting on that experience, I felt a deep sense of gratitude and happiness—not just for the victory, but for the entire process. During the rough patches of my soccer journey, I learned that dedication and persistence are crucial to achieving any goal, both on and off the field. My commitment to practicing outside of team practices and pushing myself to run a couple of times weekly taught me that effort does lead to results.
If I were to write a story about my soccer journey, I would title it "Hard Work Pays Off." This title resonates with my experience, as it reflects not only my growth as a player but also as a person. My journey illustrates that anyone, regardless of their circumstances, can find success by putting in the effort and staying committed.
Ultimately, my story is not just about soccer; it symbolizes a universal message: persistence, hard work, and determination lead to success. As I continue my journey in the beautiful game of soccer, I hold on to the belief that as long as I work diligently and keep striving to improve, the victories—big and small—will come. And who knows? Maybe one day my story will inspire others around the world to keep chasing their dreams, no matter how tough the road may seem.
