How I scored my first soccer goal. . .

It was only the third quarter and we were losing 3-0. Catalina, one of my teammates, was dribbling the ball up to the other team’s goal, and I sprinted beside her. We were both on offense, and were the fastest runners on our team. Their defense couldn’t keep up with us.

We were getting closer and closer to the goal, but then. . . BAM!

One girl from the other team rammed right into Catalina, and the ball rolled its way over to me. But I didn’t stop to ask if she was okay, instead, I bolted, keeping the ball infront of me and my eyes up ahead.

The goal was only a few yards away now, and I dribbled the ball to the right side, my aim on the left, and kicked as hard as I could.

After that, everything seemed to have happened in slow motion. Everyone was hushed, as they watched in suspense.

The goalie stooped down low, but it was too late; The ball slipped past her hands and zoomed into the net. Cheers exploded from all around the field and my whole team rushed over to me. High-fives, and back slaps were flying around, with an excited atmosphere in the air.

This is how I scored my first soccer goal, and it was also the first goal for the team. I was proud of myself, and my team’s mood lifted, allowing us to feel more confident and score a few more goals before the end of the game.

This proved that all people needed was a little motivation to do better at something. . .
