Admiring Something New

I longed for a place to fit in

I was never that outgoing so it took me a while to get involved

I remember when my best friend asked if I wanted to join our school soccer team

I thought to myself, “How could I say no?”

I joined, and I was really good at being one of the top scorers!

It motivated me to do my best and made me feel alive

It almost seemed like I was finally finding where I belonged within the sport I love so deeply

Since then my confidence grew and my heart became fully aware

My place is within this sport, surrounded by the people I love
