Something I like and I do well....

SOCCER
Talking about oneself may be difficult sometimes because we can believe we are good at certain things while other do not see it that way. Well the point is that you trust yourself and you know you really are what you believe.
I think I am good at playing soccer, I mean since I was a child I have been in soccer teams and also my daddy has encouraged me to play it so that is why I enjoy playing soccer because my father has been always with me, somehow practicing sports, in this case soccer help you in many areas of your life, it can improve your health reducing the risk of many serious illnesses and there is a little evidence that you can live for a long life if you exercise.

Moreover, it reduces stress and increases physical and mental health; you can get all those benefits while having fun, soccer is great because if you feel stressed and you start playing it, you can enhance your mood I mean you can see things in a different way. As soccer is a game of movements which keeps your body active will help you out to keep fit.
I have had many beautiful experiences by playing soccer because through this sport I have had the chance to meet a lot of people, besides that people can learn and practice their social skills, for sure you will meet and become friend with other people from different backgrounds that is why it seems that soccer can improve relationships because you learn to work as a team and at least while you are playing it you forget all your problems.
I also think that sports are a good way to make a good society I mean there are many guys (teenagers, adults) that do not have a family not even a job or they do not do anything good or productive, so it would be a beautiful and great idea that the government creates some places or institutions where this people can keep their minds busy and somehow it could avoid that people think about becoming gangbangers or thieves I just see it like a way to make some social changes.
So guys if you think soccer or sports are boring and that they do not have any benefit try out whatever you want and you will have a nice and funny experience as I do, the thing is that you exercise because exercising keeps a healthy body and a healthy mind…..

Waiting for your postings folks……=)

  1. Well Mary, what you say regarding talking about oneself is for real. Just yourself can see skills in your person that nobody else sees.

    So, if you say you are good at playing soccer is good. The thing is that you enjoy doing something you like so that you enhance your talents in that thing and you can have fun doing it.

    Also, it is really exciting that a girl likes soccer, mainly because that’s a men sport. I think it is more exciting watching girls playing soccer than watching men!!!

    Let me know when we can have a little soccer match between you and me ok Mary…jejeje!!!

  2. Wow Mary, I din´t know that you like soccer a lot...now I understand why you are so athletic my friend!!!
    Let me tell you that I´m in totally agreement with you specially in the fact that exercise allows you to reach not only a great health condition but also a sharp mind!!!
    Besides these important facts is the opportunity to make new friends and being in touch with different environments.
    Parental support is crucial for a kid to achieve any goal in any field, this support gives the security and the certainty that you are doing things well and helps you to continue to follow your dreams...
    As you said dear Mary everybody should practice any sport...but is so sad that we live so stressed that at the end of the day we don´t want to do anything else than rest!!!
    jajajaja I was reading Eric´s comment an definitely for him it is much better a girls soccer team than a man soccer team in which there´s not too much to see....well...
    Let me know when and where are you going to play and for sure I´ll be there as your cheerleader baby!!!!
    :)

  3. That's why you look athletic Mary!
    It 's not common 2 see girls that enjoy soccer as you do. As Erick said, it's nice to see girls playing; they look sexy and sometimes is funny the way they kick the ball!!! It seems that you have enjoyed playing soccer with your father. Not all the children have the chance to play with their parents. My father was a goal keeper, my brother was a goal keeper, too, and I remember that my father went to watch the match when I play in that poosition first time. We lost that match, but I played a good game and he felt kind of proud...
    Do you play in a formal team in this moment? Let me know; maybe I can go to see you.
    wise.

  4. Eric please, a soccer match between two players is not a match. Oh Eric, my theory about you is being proved with that comment, lol.

    Well Mary, Exercising is pretty good for your body and mind. It keeps you healthy and focused on good stuff. This is why experts recommend teenagers to practice any kind of sport for their mind will be completely busy. People who practice sports are always healthier than the ones who have not made the effort to get involved in one. Doing any exercise refreshes your mind, soul, and body. I believe these people are happier and somehow view life from a different perspective.

  5. Well, thanks for supporting my ideas guys and thank you for saying I am an athletic girl lol even I am not at all… lol but I just like exercising.
    Besides, all we have been mentioning, I think that if we organize our time so we make a schedule it will be easier to perform our activities and as Sara says, sometimes we do not want to do anything after arriving home but rest, so just think it is a way to relax and actually you will enjoy and you will become healthier.
    I just want to point out that we as women can do whatever we want, and soccer is for everybody ok.. ooh and going back to Erick’s point we can practice some soccer guy but just wait because now I have gotten a broken nail so I am not able to play for a while but we will do it some day, and for sure you will be there guys to see who is better of course me….
    Thanks dear teacher and pals…..
